Hello everyone,
We at GNAO hope you have enjoyed a wonderful summer and are looking forward to fall. As the weather cools, things at GNAO Chapters across the province are starting up again. Many of our chapters will be hosting events in the coming months and we hope you will find an opportunity to attend.
We plan on sharing these events with you using emails like this on a monthly basis. At times, these emails may be more frequent based on the number of events happening (we don't want you to miss out!). We hope you enjoy hearing about what's happening. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, info@gnaontario.org, we love to hear from you, our valued members!
Here are the latest events and opportunities we have to share. Watch out for another email coming your way soon with more ways to engage with GNAO. And Happy Thanksgiving!
Julie Rubel, GNAO Past President on behalf of the GNAO Provincial Board
