A Message from Our Co-PresidentsWelcome to IODE Laurentian – an IODE chapter, one of two in Ottawa. We are a group, of approximately 40 women who, with a common goal of helping others have fun in the process. We (Barbara & Janet) follow on in the footsteps of many Presidents who have gone before us since 1906.
We are currently busy organizing our fundraisers for this year and as this year is the 125th Anniversary of IODE itself we plan to celebrate this important milestone by having a Celebration Tea on June 14th. Please keep any eye on this web site and our Face Book page for more information about this and our other fundraisers throughout the year. We welcome ladies of any age to come and join us and make a difference in the lives of those in need. We realize how busy lives are these days so appreciate any time and support that members can give us. |
If you are about to or have recently retired you will be able to continue to use, if you so wish, the skills you have built up over the years. Life long friendships are made. As well as helping our community here in Ottawa in a variety of ways, such as through scholarships, bursaries, assistance to women’s and youth shelters and Banff Ave Community House we also support a nursing station and two adopted classes in northern Ontario.
