Aviva Community Fund – We Need Your Help!

November2

The organization I work with, COMAP (Centre for Community Mapping) has developed a new social enterprise (Mapadit) that will help provide long term support to all of our systems, including the Mennonite Heritage Portrait and Your Heritage Waterloo Region, as well as NewsAtlas. We have found a source of reveue – the Aviva Community Fund – which has created a public competition to find projects to fund and need public support to make it to the finals. We’re competing with projects from across Canada.

Please vote to support COMAP’s social enterprise entry to the Aviva Community Fund. The top 20 projects from this first round of voting will make it to the semi-finals when we’ll once again need your support to make it to the finals.

You can vote once each day for the next 13 days. Please vote, comment and tell your friends. Help us build a new source of much-needed revenue for community non-profits. The benefits of this project will support many non-profits across Canada.

Thank you for your support! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new home of Eclectic Closet Litblog & Book Reviews.  Come in, have a look around and make yourself at home.

You may wonder at the move.  Well, many friends and readers were suggesting that it was time to have my own URL as I would have many more options for the future with the blog, and more control over the site.  So after much deliberation and prevaricating, I took the plunge, bought the URL and here we are.

The blogger site will remain up for the archives but new postings will only be made here.  Slowly, as time permits, the archives will be uploaded here as well.

So sit back, grab a cup of Joe and enjoy the new place.
