I play clarinet. (my level is about Royal Conservatory Grade 6). Though I am presently in a community band, I would like to get into a smaller combo as well, as a volunteer where each musician has his or her part.

I'm available mostly on weekends.

Every year, my church in Markham (marthoma.ca) with the partnership of our Brampton sister parish (marthomachurch.ca) host a long-weekend Youth Conference for youth from our parishes, and across Ontario.

This year, our fundraising target is approximately $6000. However, due to the recent economy downturn and the situation our church was put in at that time, we're finding it hard to raise the needed amount from our members.

I'm looking for local businesses or individuals who'd like to contribute an amount for this purpose.

All donations will be tax-deductible (we are a registered non-profit organization), or we can work out a deal to put your ads in out "culture show/entertainment night" talent show that expect 300+ in audience, in our souvenir booklet, that will reach ALL delegates of the conference and their immediate family, or you can opt to put your ad on our website.

In return, I, personally, am willing to offer a period of technical support services (everything from creating powerpoints to maintaining your website to doing lights/sound/audio at your next event) for free or for great discounts.

Any help is appreciated.

I am coordinating a National Mom 2 Mom Sale (a sale of used children's items by parents to other parents) to break a Guinness World Record and raise over $250,000 for Unity for Autism. How this works is my company Just Playdates pays for the space rental (this is paid back through the money earned from table rental sales) and the rest of the money goes to the Volunteer operating the sale. So individuals or charities looking to make a little money this May can operate a location (anywhere in Canada) get some visibility in their community and be a part of a world record attempt. Please ask me for any more details Laurie 905-662-8727 or info@justplaydates.ca
