Greetings Ladies,

Thank you to all of you who were at the meeting last night and listened to presentations from our recipient from May and the charities vying for this meeting’s donations.

Thank you to Shirley from Niagara Children’s Village who let us know what our donations were used for at the Children’s Village.

Congratulations to our winning charity from last night, The Brain Injury Association of Fort Erie & South Niagara. Thank you Jonna for your great nomination and presentation for this charity.

Brain Injury Association of Fort Erie & South Niagara

In 1987, Jackie Denham and Shirley Athoe founded the Brain Injury Association of Fort Erie (BIAFE), one of Ontario’s earliest BIAs (Brain Injury Associations), out of sheer necessity and compassion. Inspired by their son’s journey with acquired brain injuries and the absence of local support networks, Jackie and Shirley took it upon themselves to create a community where individuals facing similar challenges could connect, share experiences, and provide vital support to one another. The vision wasn’t just about their family’s needs but also about fostering an inclusive environment where all families impacted by brain injuries could find solace and assistance. Through their initiative, they not only established hope but also laid the groundwork for countless others to find understanding and solidarity in their journey toward recovery and acceptance.

Our mission is to provide unwavering support, advocacy, and resources to individuals and families affected by brain injuries. We strive to enhance understanding and acceptance while promoting resilience and empowerment.

We envision a future where every person affected by a brain injury receives compassionate care, comprehensive resources, and opportunities for recovery and participation in society.

BIAFE continues to be a beacon of hope for our community.

What is Niagara Safety Village?

The Niagara Safety Village is an interactive education centre with a miniature village located on site. The instructors are police officers, auxiliary police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and emergency management team members. The goal is to teach personal safety and injury prevention to school-age children. Students get the chance to participate in different activities, demonstrating all they have learned inside the classroom. The children learn to have fun while being safe!

Safety and Fun

There safety activities for everyone all year long! Some of the activities include:

• Traffic Safety
• Personal Safety
• Bus Safety
• Bullying
• Drug and Alcohol Awareness
• Internet Safety
• Fire Prevention
• Disaster Ready Tips
• Holiday Fun

Greetings Ladies,

I have great news to share! Finally, after lots of hurdles/roadblocks we are starting up 100+ Women Niagara again. We are a small but powerful group of women and I am praying and hoping everyone is able to come back and continue to grow our organization with their support.

I am asking you to grab a friend or 5 and come out to our first meeting of 2024 in May.

We have secured space for our meetings. It will be the same place each time. Meetings will be held at the Optimist Youth Centre located at 188 Linwell Road in St. Catharines. Meeting will start at 7:00 pm with doors opening at 6:30 pm.

Give us an hour of your time (for four times a year), commit $100 each meeting, and see how we are impacting the lives of people of Niagara. Please share this with all the women you know and together let’s make 100+ Women Niagara the BEST ever. The organization needs you!

We will be meeting on Thursdays on the following dates for the 2024 Session:

May 2, 2024

September 5, 2024

November 7, 2024

May 6, 2025

Any questions please call me at 905 321 2261. I look forward to seeing you and many new faces as we embark on this next chapter.
