We will be considering additional funding requests for and discussing potential legacy projects.
Also reviewing details for upcoming Pancake Tuesday Fundraiser for Easter Seals on March 4.Taylor and I had a meeting at the Sugar Shack on Wednesday. Here's a brief summary of what was discussed.
1 -- Elsabe heard back from the Cataraqui Conservation Authority. The boardwalk will NOT be rebuilt, but there are other financial needs we could help with.
2 -- If we DO take on a large project, Don suggested payments in installments, ie: four installments of $5K for a $20K project.
3 -- We are still waiting to hear back from Lionhearts about which Wednesday will work best for food packing. Kelly at Lionhearts is keen to have us, but will not know until November which week is best. (Lionhearts has been informed that grants are available for bigger requests.)
4 -- A couple of the volunteer opportunities were touched on, including "Roots of Empathy" (brought forward by Elsabe at a previous meeting) and "Brushamania", a dental hygiene project being run by the Cataraqui-Kingston club.
5 -- I have reached out to the Community Service chairs at all the local clubs and have heard back from 2. I will wait another week, then will arrange a Zoom meeting with those interested in coordinating our activities to maximize impact.
6 -- I will reach out to Anne Desgagnes about advertising the grant application on Facebook.
7 -- I will email Elizabeth Bailey from Kingston 4 Paws about our new grant application system.
Let's plan on having a Community Services meeting on Nov 27th at 5pm, prior to the club assembly. Unfortunately, none of the other Wednesdays between now and then will work, but if anyone has a pressing need to meet prior to that, please let me know.

A View of the Multiverse from the Top Down to the Bottom Up
Mar. 19, 2025
* - Food Bank Collection Topic: A VIew of the Multiverse from the Top Down to the Bottom Up Dr. Joe Bramante is an Associate Professor at Queen’s University. After completing his PhD at the University of Hawaii, Joe held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Notre Dame and the Perimeter Institute, where he focused on the theory and phenomenology of dark matter and the early universe. His main research objective is to construct well-motivated theories that describe fundamental physics and to find new and hopefully elegant ways for humans to test those theories. Currently most of Joe’s time is spent on identifying extensions of our standard understanding of nature, that experimental physicists and astronomers can then search for. Right now, he is in the process of demonstrating how detectors already operating at SNOLAB can be used to search for a new type of dark matter particle: multiply interacting massive particles (MIMPs). |

![]() Where Fact Meets Fiction
Apr. 02, 2025 6:30 p.m.
Learn how fictitious characters are woven into real events to create an engaging narrative. Sarah, a servant orphaned by cholera in London in 1869 desperately seeks her family. Richard, the disgraced son of an eastern Ontario sawmill owner must redeem himself, then seek his own path. Their journeys are brought together by a group of Home Children. Bio. Laurie Ness Gordon, author of Finding Home and The Medal, has worked as an educator, workshop presenter and volunteer Project Manager for a touring art exhibition. She currently supports refugees from Syria and Somalia. She enjoys making music, travelling, swimming, shoveling snow and being ‘productive’. Her favourite holiday memory is a 5-week motorcycle trip across Canada. |

We would be happy to arrange a tour for your members of our health care labs (and any other areas, e.g. trades labs) based on when we could access these labs, ie. when classes are not in session. If the timing works, maybe the tour could be in the late afternoon with the Pub Night immediately following. |
