One Direction Social Group Fun and Games at the Park: June, 2018

By: Michelle Grimley

On a gorgeous June afternoon, Central Region’s One Direction Social Group wrapped up another great year with an annual “BBQ and Fun at the Park” celebration. The self-named and self-directed group is diverse and welcoming, with a focus on community activities and friendship building. The One Direction Social Group meets from September to June one Saturday a month, depending on everyone’s availability.

Before taking on the role of Central Region’s Community Support Coordinator, Membership, I volunteered with Community Living Toronto. The One Direction Social Group was my first and longest volunteer role and introduced me to the amazing people and programs at our agency. Our Saturday outings were always filled with laughter and stories of trips and exciting life updates. I got so much out of volunteering with the kind and funny members of this beloved group and am incredibly grateful to continue on as a group Facilitator in my Community Support Coordinator role.

The One Direction Social Group is sponsored annually by Central Region Council, funding such events and activities as:

• Snakes & Lattes Board Game Café
• Holiday Party
• Create Your Own Pizza and Games
• Dinner and Movie Theatre
• Bowlerama
• Ice Cream Sundaes and a Movie
• Year End BBQ Event
• and Fun at the Park

The group has a rich and long history and in its current form wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated planning and support by our volunteers, particularly  Michael Challes. Michael carefully considers everyone’s schedules and interests and ensures the One Direction Social Group outings are engaging and worthwhile.

Thank you to Michael and all of our members and volunteers for another memorable year!

Central Region Council sponsors a variety of events and activities and invites new funding ideas and proposals!
