Hello everyone,

For more information please read/forward the information below:
(Note: Due to the ongoing labour dispute at the Canadian War Museum, the 2nd Ottawa Timeraiser will now take place at the National Gallery of Canada, in the Great Hall.)

Timeraiser 101
"We know that getting involved in the community isn't always easy, so we've made it simple for you to find relevant and meaningful volunteer opportunities that fit your busy lifestyle.

The Timeraiser is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town. Throughout the evening meet with different agencies and match your skills to their needs. Once you have made your matches, you are eligible to bid on artwork. The big twist is rather than bid money, you bid volunteer hours. Once the auction is over we announce the hours raised and then celebrate our contribution to the community.

It is our hope that the evening is the beginning of a life-long journey for you and your friends. A journey that plants the seed to make your civic footprint - a contribution of your time and money to causes that are important to you - as big as possible."
