Volunteers Needed For Gift Wrapping Booth



Each year for the past 22 years, Community Living Essex County has operated a Gift Wrapping Booth fund-raiser at Devonshire Mall in Windsor.  Community Living Essex County has been extremely fortunate to benefit from the generosity of hundreds of volunteers who, year after year, give of their time and holiday spirit to wrap gifts of all sizes for a small fee or donation.  Volunteers include students looking to secure community hours, local service clubs, church groups and small and large businesses that use the opportunity to give back or as a fun team building exercise.  Individual volunteers and groups are being recruited now.

The 2014 Gift Wrapping Booth is now official opened and will continue to operate during Devonshire Mall hours each day until Wednesday, December 24 (Christmas Eve) at 5 pm.  
The booth will again be located near Chapters Bookstore in Devonshire Mall on Howard Avenue in Windsor. So save time in wrapping your holiday presents and consider bringing them to the Community Living Essex County Gift Wrapping Booth at Devonshire Mall this Christmas.

If you are interested in volunteering at the booth, please contact Tony DeSantis, Manager Community Relations by calling 519-776-6483, ext 246, or emailing: tony@communitylivingessex.org
All proceeds from the annual Gift Wrapping Booth benefit Community Living Essex County in support of over 600 people with an intellectual disability and their families throughout Essex County.

Take A Photo of Your Meal When Downtown to Win a $100 Voucher in November 2014





Organized by the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association, the #30DaysDiningDowntown Windsor contest highlights participating restaurants and eateries and encourages patrons to take a picture of their meal for a chance to win a $100 voucher to any restaurant in the city centre. Contestants may enter the competition by posting a picture of their meal on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter; tagging or identifying the respective business; and using the hashtag #30DaysDiningDowntown Windsor.


The contest runs for 30 days during the period November 1 to 30, 2014. At the conclusion of the contest, one (1) winner will be selected at random, and will be awarded a $100 voucher to be used at a restaurant of their choice located within the Downtown Windsor BIA's boundaries. You can also win one of over 10 gift certificates from participating restaurants.


The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) advocates for continuous improvement, promotes sustainable growth, cultivates and projects the uniqueness and creative spirit within our city centre. As a proponent for downtown revitalization, the DWBIA strives to create and nurture a downtown that defines the character of the Windsor region and actively works to invest in amenities that people want, need and use.
