March is off to a wonderful start, weather wise. Real estate is being affected by the US currently and probably because of all the damage the snow has caused this winter as well. Below is a link to the Canadian Real Estate Association describing current events in the market.

CNOY UPDATE:

The Coldest Night of the Year was sooo great! I've found my tribe! Selfless-acts-of-kindness kind of people. Together we raised over $135k for Gravenhurst Against Poverty. WOW! Admittedly we didn't reach our goal of $185k BUT we had half the donors that contributed last year and that is a HUGE win.

Some of these proceeds are going to be used to create much needed and NEW cooking program to create nutritious food using items like microwaves or single burner stoves or electric skillets. Many of our program attendees live with food insecurities whether it's lack of food, transportation to get food as well as lack of kitchen appliances to create better food options. A survey conducted in January revealed that recipients crave more knowledge on how to make healthier food options with the resources they have. This program takes off in April this year!

Hope this writing finds you well and that 2025 is being good to you!

Christmas was cancelled because my household got a flu bug. Yuck! We'll try again next year.

On to better news though! So, I mentioned my volunteer commitments in my previous correspondence and I've been presented with an opportunity that I'd very much like to invite you, your family and friends to join in a way that makes sense for you.

This community opportunity is quite personal to me. Maybe you've heard of it before?! Coldest Night of the Year. It's not new, but it's new-ish to me. I had heard of it before but didn't take time to learn about it until I was approached to volunteer for the event. And, WOW - it felt like stars aligning for me. I thought to myself, 'this is the PERFECT opportunity for me to give back full circle'! It is designed to bring awareness and funding benefitting the hungry, hurt and homeless in our very own backyard.

With a lot of excitement and a lil bit of fear, I took this to the brokerage, told them my story and asked 'who's with me?' and it was unanimous YES!

So, if you've done this before, never done this or only want to do this one time - I'm graciously asking for you to join me, my friends, my family and The Agency Muskoka this February 22nd, 2025 for Coldest Night of The Year (aka CNOY) in Gravenhurst. This campaign directly and positively impacts the programs and program participants at Gravenhurst Against Poverty (GAP). My personal goal is to create the biggest team to walk in Gravenhurst this year and to raise $250.

There is a 2km or 5km walk with stops along the way of local businesses offering some reprieve from the weather and something warm to sip. Gravenhurst isn't the only town participating either.

Here is some additional information for your reference and possible participation. There are several ways to contribute to the cause and they can be found on their website. The team link will take you to my profile where you can join the walk with me, donate or fundraise. Feel free to call/text/email me to verify this information.
