Happy Holidays!
Transition KW
Greetings Transitioners!
As everyone is busy in the holiday season and spending time with family and friends, TransitionKW will be winding down and you’ll be getting fewer emails from us in the month of December. This email has a few community events and volunteer opportunities listed below. There will be some blog posts up on the website throughout the month though, so check there for Transition-related reading material. The main TransitionKW event this month is a holiday party for volunteers and friends on December 13 - if you want to come and haven’t received an invitation for this yet, either check your junk mail or contact us for details (resilientc...@transitionkw.ca).
Happy Holidays :)
