including:
April - Volunteer Work Day
Click here to RSVP
<http://computersforcommunities.ca/c4c/en/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&i...
The goal of these Volunteer Work Days (VWD) is to get the
volunteers of C4C together for some face to face interaction. Our
current lack of physical location can cause difficulties in
communication and relationship building. As we create and hold these
VWDs on a regular basis, we hope that these hardships will be overcome.

Fundraising
Our 2013 Fundraising is now online through our home page
<http://bit.ly/c4c-2013Campaign> or directly at
http://bit.ly/c4c-2013Campaign.
Computers for Communities (C4C) relies on individual donations as a
means to raise funds to run our programs. Our goal is to rely mostly on
the support and generosity of our constituents as part of our
sustainability and growth plans.
Our target for 2013 is to raise *$20,000*
Current amount raised in 2013: *$500*
Please help us achieve the rest of our target.
