Our purpose is to ensure the Committee members are aware that there are differing perspectives in the broader community about the current direction of UW/CO and serious concerns about the impact of this direction on community service organizations, many of whom are service partners with the City itself, and the populations who depend on them for support. We will invite Councillors to visit our website and to attend the 2012 AGM.<br><br>If you are able to attend the Committee meeting between 10 am and 10:30, please do so. <br><br><br clear=all><br>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Ottawa Community Action</span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i>"Put Community First" at United Way Ottawa</i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.putcommunityfirst.ca" target="_blank">www.putcommunityfirst.ca</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Put-Community-First/283799898305520" target="_blank">Connect on Facebook</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#CC0000'>SAVE THE DATE: United Way Ottawa AGM Tuesday, June 19th</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
