Big Events on Small Budgets

Over the course of my work in the non-profit sector, I've discovered it's full of hard-working individuals who are PR powerhouses and don't even know it. Operating with practically no budget, Christine Geoffrion, manager of information services at Volunteer & Information Quinte (VIQ) is putting together the seventh annual Ladies Charity Golf Tournament where ladies have a chance to WIN A CAR! Other great activities lined up for the lucky ladies include mini-spa treatments courtesy of The Body Shop and a good dose of the "hard stuff' from Woody's Coolers: Hopefully the hubbies are planning their own dinners for that night. From VIQ's base in Belleville, Christine is information specialist, fundraising coordinator, events manager, media spokesperson, communications officer and more. I'd take my hat off to her, but she'd probably pick it up!

Working in non-profit is definitely a challenge but all workers I know do it with passion. Thanks to you MJ for the help your are bringing to us!
