The first \u201cannual\u201d \u00c9cole Pine Grove School\u2019s March\u00e9 took place on October 2, 2013 and was hosted by the Parent Council, coinciding with Meet the Teacher day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Taking place in the school gym; it\u2019s purpose to bring the community together to showcase the community\u2019s skills, talents, products and services. It was a treasure trove for mumpreneurs and small business owners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We can definitely count on it being bigger and better next year.<\/p>\n
We had a great turnout with many curious parents and students.<\/p>\n
Did I hear someone say, \u201cI should have taken part.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Proceeds from sales from this event were shared between the\u00a0Halton Learning Foundation and Pine Grove\u2019s Global Issues Club.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a moment to step away from social media networks and make connections the old fashioned way.<\/p>\n
I would love to meet the neighbors during a square dance but that\u2019s unlikely to happen so\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s shake hands, say hello to our neighbors and let\u2019s make meaningful connections. As a tight-knit community we can make a difference.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It all starts with one person and one act that make a huge difference.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Walk through the neighborhood.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/i>When you sprint, you put flyers up on every door you pass.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you walk, you build relationships, with people, one at a time.<\/i><\/p>\n
When you sprint, you start rushing and do things you wouldn\u2019t normally do, like spamming people.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you walk, you find out what is important to people first and then, show them how you can help them.<\/i><\/p>\n
When you sprint, you seem desperate and pushy.<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you walk, you seem genuine and helpful. \u2014Jenny Blake<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i>Take the time to walk through your neighborhood and watch<\/p>\n
your business grow and prosper.<\/p>\n
