FESTIVE FRIEND-RAISER OCTOBER 3 2012

West Toronto KEYS to Inclusion together with their many friends and supporters celebrated on the evening of Wednesday Oct 3 2012 at the Community Junction, owned and operated by Community Living Toronto. KEYS stands for ( Knowledge + Experience = Your Success). We believe that neighbourhood opportunities for knowledge and work / volunteer / social experience are KEYS to the successful creation of strong, vibrant communities which include people of ALL abilities. And there was cause for celebration: 1. KEYS is celebrating its first Birthday of Lunch n Learn at the Junction. 5 years ago a dream was shared by 8 families whose young adult was graduating from high school and wanted to be active and visible in the community. Lunch n Learn kicked off in September 2011 with Meghan Bruni as the Leader. Today the many talents of Jenny Saundercook lead our participants to new discoveries about themselves, their community and nutritious and delicious meal planning and preparation. Much of this has been made possible because of our second success 2. KEYS wonderful partnership with Community Living Toronto who so generously have given us the beautiful shared space at Community Junction to use daily for KEYS Lunch n Learn. In addition, Community Living Toronto has provided invaluable volunteers to assist at Lunchn Learn as well as collaboration with KEYS to create choices for our young adultsthe most recent being the monthly Friday night social called Function at the Junction..you are welcome to attend if you are under 30 . 3. Our most important success is KEYS participants and their abilities A picture is worth a thousand words so lets watch this 5 minute video (click on 5 min video to watch) created by Ihor Macijiwsky.
