My View From the Zoo: Opportunity Knocks ~ August 7, 2014

It has been some time since my last post, but there haven't been too many submissions until this week. This either means you are all keeping very busy this summer, which is probably a very good thing!

Before too long the kids will be back to school and summer vacation will be over for another season ~ enjoy it while you can!

Does anyone know of a local school or group that still collects Campbell's soup labels for fundraising? Please let me know!

Do you have an opportunity to share? Please send it to tammy@easternontarionetwork.com!

Thank you for supporting me in my efforts to support all the wonderful things happening in our communities.

Cheers! ~ Tammy
