We’re looking for a new host in Lac Mégantic!

In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg, also known as Swissmiss, started CreativeMornings out of a desire for an ongoing, accessible event for New York’s creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone.

Today, attendees gather in 220+ cities around the world to enjoy meaningful connection and engaging events. Volunteer hosts and their volunteer team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate their city’s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. We call ourselves an engine of generosity and live by our manifesto.

Since CreativeMornings/Lac Mégantic was founded, the chapter has built a beautiful community. However, our previous host recently stepped down, so we are now looking for a replacement. Could this be you?

Does this describe you?

• You’re passionate about the local creative community in Lac Mégantic.

• You’re enthusiastic about leading a small volunteer team to put your own spin on CreativeMornings.

• You’re excited to participate in the global conversation among our 220 chapters (and growing!).

• You use the words “humble,” “driven,” “resourceful,” “generous,” and “connected” to describe yourself.

If so, we’d love to hear from you!

If interested, please complete our New Chapter Application and we’ll be in touch. There will be follow-up interviews for the top candidates.

We look forward to receiving your application!

The Quebec town of Lac-Megantic is raising money for the victims of the Fort McMurray wildfires, saying it wants to support its fellow disaster-hit community.

Megantic-L'Erable MP Luc Berthold and Lac-Megantic Mayor Jean-Guy Cloutier are encouraging locals to donate to the Red Cross.

Berthold, whose riding encompasses Lac-Megantic, says residents are grateful for the support they received in the wake of the 2013 rail disaster that killed 47 people and wiped out much of the city’s downtown core.

Cloutier says locals understand how the Fort McMurray victims are feeling and want to show their solidarity.

The mayor also says Fort McMurray residents will have to show courage and determination during the ordeal.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today the federal government will match all donations to the Red Cross to assist people displaced by the wildfires.

Redonner au prochain! Lac Mégantic a tellement reçu il y a 3 ans. À nous d’aider ceux dans le besoin!
