Girls Night Out proceeds will go entirely to support We are
the Villagers. The organization was developed to make a difference in the lives
of children and since becoming a Canadian Registered Charity 18 months ago it has
raised $110,000 through volunteer and community efforts. The Villager mission
is to help families and their children participate in extracurricular activities
of interest to them. Currently there are 150 children from the North Simcoe
area and further registered in programs including sports, music, art, dance,
gymnastics, horseback riding and more thanks to We Are The Villagers.
“The list is growing. There are 184 applicants to date so
we need money. It costs about $1000 per child per year - money is mainly raised
through events we put on ourselves and 100 percent of that money goes towards
sponsoring kids. We also get help from the community with groups and
individuals raising and donating money towards the cause.”
Matyas says in the recent past $1800 was raised though Cedar
Ridge Pops, $300 was raised by Yoga House in Penetanguishene, $1700 by Driven
Athletics, and a recent bonspiel involving
the Mayor of Penetanguishene and award winning curler Glenn Howard raised $6000,
just to name a few. The Tiny Township Lion’s Club donated $500 as well as many
more community donors have supported the Villagers.
Already there’s a list of upcoming dates throughout the
year to mark your calendar for with repeats on several very popular events. The
3rd Annual Fashion Show takes place on April 6 – an event presented by Cashmere
Blue, Shoes to Boot and Kim’s Boutique. Tickets will be on sale next week.
The 2nd Annual Pancake Breakfast will be
taking place in Penetanguishene on April 27th with details to follow
soon. On May 18th there will be another Murder Mystery Dinner at the
Library Restaurant. On August 10th there will be a second Pancake
Breakfast in Penetanguishene and another Fashion Show takes place on October 5
at the Library Restaurant.
Some exciting news involves a book that is going to be
published by mid-summer which has to do with Villagers sharing.
“The book is filled with informational tips from other
Villagers. We have been working on the book for months and now it is finally
coming together. It contains everything from knowing how to brush you kids
teeth to nutrition – knowing how to buy fruits and vegetables, what’s in season,
how to shop on a budget, tips from the fire department and police, etc.,” said
Matyas.
“The books are a fundraiser and will be on sale publically
so that all Villagers families will get theirs free. By sharing this
information we are trying to illustrate to Villager guardians to understand
they know more than they thought they did – how to nurture the nurturers in
order to really help the children. We hope to be launching the book at one of our
upcoming events.”
Matyas says she is constantly amazed by what’s happening in
the community because of We are the Villagers. It’s like a ball that keeps
rolling and getting bigger in so many ways. Something that has impressed Matyas
are the number of parents who have gone back to school to try and get better
jobs to take care of their children in future.
“I find it really heartwarming to see those parents taking
the incentive to better themselves. We also see some of the grandparents of our
kids trying to help with the costs because they are so thrilled to see them in
programs – it is amazing to know we are impacting the family unit and not just
the child,” said Matyas.
