“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
Helen Keller
The best way to feel connected to our community here at East Shore is to get involved. By getting involved, you have the opportunity to get to know other members more deeply, and to express your ideas, skills and talents, while contributing to the well-being of the community.
Opportunities abound, ranging from regular social events and groups, to volunteering on a Sunday or at one off events, to joining teams and committees working on specific projects. When you find something that interests you, just ask to be introduced to the leader of that group, or contact them directly.
