Benefits of MPI Ottawa
Benefits of being a chapter member are the friends that I have made and the opportunities to volunteer and raise money for various charities.

Two examples would be:

  • The MPI Charity Auction & Dinner, I was the Emcee for the event,
  • The Annual December Kiwanis Holiday Hamper Delivery. I delivered food with my daughter to families at Christmas time.

Most Memorable Event Experience
It was the MPI Charity Auction & Dinner in January 2019 when I was Emcee and game show host for a very fun and unique event. The event was interactive: we were dressed-up, we played the “price is right” game. I can’t wait to see these events come back.  

Final Word
While it has been a challenging time for many of us in the industry, I am confident that we will return to a busy season and good times.
