An extension of Oakville's community-based fundraising campaigns: The campaign is intended as an addition to Oakville's giving priorities. We do not seek to re-direct citizens' support for the many worthwhile and important priorities here at home. An opportunity for Oakville: to support a critical international cause, to build upon the inspirational leadership which Oakville is known for, and to contribute in a significant way to the 2008 and 2009 WORLD AIDS DAY celebrations. © Liz Marshall · · © Liz Marshall OPPORTUNITIES TO BE A PART OF THIS TWO-YEAR INITIATIVE: Become involved, in activities such as...
