June 2009 eNewsletter

Health in Common will hold an Evaluation Workshop focusing on Surveys in partnership with Volunteer Manitoba later in May. If you would like to receive further information on this workshop please contact us.

Greetings and welcome to the October E-Newsletter!

Calendars are coming! Watch our website in the coming weeks for the addition of two new calendars. A meeting & events calendar link will be available from our home page. This calendar will list Manitoba based events from the newsletter and will contain links to the events’ website. Provincial meetings will also be included. It is hoped that this information will help people know what is happening and who may be where, when. A funding deadlines calendar link will be added to the funding page and will give posted deadlines and links for funding opportunities.
