Welcome


Welcome to Renate's Baton. This blog is mostly for and about my choir, The York Region Community Choir.

But, While I'm holding the baton, I'm in charge. So, if I want to talk about other parts of my life, I will. :)

The choir itself is a community and I'm discovering that we have a lot in common with one another besides our love of music and singing.

When I go off on a tangent, there is always a crowd coming along. Join us!

My Fundraising Thing: CNOY the coldest night of the year

 











We Walk February 22, 2025!

The Coldest Night of the Year #CNOY is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities. Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there.

I've been participating in this walk since 2017. I have quite a collection of toques. Every Year there's a different toque that you can get if you raise $150 or more. (see below)

It's cold out there. Again this February, together with thousands of Canadians across the country, I'll be walking and fundraising to support people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in my community.

In Newmarket, we support Inn From The Cold.

 "Inn From the Cold collaborates with individuals experiencing homelessness, supporting them on their path to stability through a comprehensive array of services and programs that include daily drop-in facilities, emergency housing/shelter, employment social enterprises, transitional housing, and permanent housing solutions. A continuum of services from basic needs to securing housing assists our clients on their journey to wellness and self-sufficiency."

Here is something you can do about homelessness. Help me fundraise, or come and walk with me.

Here's a link to my fundraising page.
