The 2013 calendar was a great success.
Altogether, your efforts raised over $60,000 for our charities. Our "Kick Off", " Ladies Night Out" , and " Oakville Firefighters Calendar Gala" events were all big hits. The "Kick Off" and " Gala" were sold out within days of being announced. It was great to see the many friends and family members who volunteered their time to attend to these events and enjoy the entertainment.
After just one week, our Facebook page had reached over 34,000 people and was a hit all over the world—we sold calendars not only to people all over Canada, but also to the United States and Australia. In addition to raising money, this calendar has been a really positive way to interact with the citizens of Oakville, garnering a great response from local business. Please make sure you take the time to thank and support our sponsors.
Thank you also to our great Oakville community volunteers: Helena Thompson, Carole Strome and Sharon McKay. They put in a tremendous amount of work and were key to the success of the project. We are hoping to get even more support from our members next year for the 2014 calendar! If you are interested, please contact me: This email address is being protected from spambots.
