Opportunity Knocks - April 30th, 2014

It's been a little bit since my last opportunity knocks.  Things have been a little nutty in my world, and rather than send out the same postings I thought I'd give your eyeballs a break.  

Here we are with a brand new compliment of opportunities for you to pitch in, in your community! 

Do you have an opportunity that you'd like to share? Please send it to me at tammy@easternontarionetwork.com

Thanks in advance!
