"It is a privilege for me, as a ViRTUS Mentor, to use my experience to help others avoid learning the lessons of life the way I did - the hard way."

We strive to maintain a strong community that includes the ViRTUS team, ExchangeTM members, clients, partners, colleagues and friends. Here’s a glance at some upcoming events ViRTUS is supporting in and around the business community:

September 2008
THE DROP ZONE

In September, ViRTUS is sponsoring "The Drop Zone" fundraiser for Easter Seals Canada for the fourth time. The Drop Zone provides the rare opportunity to rappel down a 20-storey office building in Downtown Vancouver. All you have to do to participate is collect donations from friends and colleagues to raise funds in support of Easter Seals for the Kids.

Confront your comfort zone and take the leap! Easter Seals is a great, longstanding charity whose mandate is to support children with disabilities throughout BC - from summer camps to housing for families who have to travel to get much needed medical attention for their children.

Here are some of the details:
