2nd Annual Funders’ Café
Is a lack of resources limiting what you or your community group can do?
Do you feel “out of the loop” with respect to what funding is available from government or other agencies?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should plan to attend the general meeting that gives you a chance to find out about the different funding criteria of some of the major funders in the City of Kawartha Lakes. It provides an opportunity to meet individually with them to find out if your needs fit with their criteria.
Caygeon Lanes, Bobcaygeon

7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

There is no cost to attend and no pre-registration is required.
Please call Peter Doris at 705.324.9411 ext 208 for further details.
