National Volunteer Week

April 10 to 16 is National Volunteer Week!

Thank you for helping us to “Make Muscles Move.”

The Walk for Muscular Dystrophy will be hosted by the Halton Region Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Planning Committee at Coronation Park on Sunday, May 15, 2011. Please sign up on our facebook page and join the fun!
