What a spectacular summer.
We’ve hosted more than 40 children/day in our Play Away Day Camps and an average of 60 people/night at our Neighbourhood Fun Nights and now, we enter an equally busy fall of programs as we plan for our big centennial event in 2016.
One hundred years is a long time to be in community, but Alexandra Neighbourhood House has done it.
We have managed to ebb and flow with our community’s needs and we hope you will join us as we head towards our centennial year.
We will need volunteers, sponsors, donors and creative minds to help us fulfill our Centennial 2016 vision.
Most of all, we need you to share your stories with us as part of a volunteer-run initiative called ‘Your Stories Tell Our Story’ that will create a vibrant, living record of how Alexandra Neighborhood House has impacted lives since 1916.
If you have a story to share, please email alexhousestories@gmail.com.
