We are making good progress toward having the Hall supported with an Emergency Generator. Early in 2024 we need to make progress in the area of engaging the Galetta Community in preparing for emergencies. That work will include an outreach to the community

We are looking for a volunteer to join our GalettaPrepares team member with responsibilities that would include:

• Assisting in developing a plan to improve Galetta residents’ awareness of the need to prepare for emergencies.
• Surveying residents to determine the needs of the community for support during an emergency.
• Determining the possible extent of ‘neighbours helping neighbours’ that could take place during an emergency
• Recommending a Communications Network similar to Neighbourhood Watch or a ‘Telephone Tree’ to facilitate communications during an emergency.

....and we have a volunteer standing by to assist!

The next steps in the GalettaPrepares work will be to develop the database of residences in the Galetta Area with the aim of identifying those that are more vulnerable to emergencies. We have acquired the necessary basic dBases and now need to bring them together and keep them updated.

We are looking for someone with EXCEL experience who:

• is comfortable with EXCEL and manipulating data inside tables.

• can updating the data by comparing with external tables that have been updated

• can using the mapping and geography components of EXCEL

We need a few more volunteers for the Tuesday night Euchres.

We need someone to manage the Door and some hands to help with serving Coffee and Tea. We would also appreciate a few more contributions of Cookies and Squares. 

Continue to do your bit for the community. Please contact Colin Crowe at: 613-852-6708 or by email at: colinjc1977@gmail.com

 

Our Galetta community is very fortunate to have a beautiful Community Centre facility at its disposal and an active executive.  More participation is always appreciated.  If you feel you can participate, feel welcome to come out to our meetings or please contact one of our executive.

We will be posting soon the details for needed volunteers for the Galetta Rummage Sale and Flea Market that will be coming up 14-16 October. Watch for the call for help and be generous in volunteering to help make this event another success.

FOOD  FOR  THOUGHT 

Once upon a time there were four individuals named EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY and NOBODY.

There was an important job to be done and 

EVERYBODY was asked to do it.  

But EVERYBODY was sure SOMEBODY would do it.  

ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did.  

SOMEBODY got angry about it because it was EVERYBODY'S job.  

EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY could do it, and NOBODY realized that EVERYBODY would not do it.  

It ended up that EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY and NOBODY did the job that ANYBODY could have done in the first place.
