AFP Ottawa New Year Social

It was a night to remember!

What better way to kick off 2023 than last night’s New Year Social at Coconut Lagoon, with the Chef Joe Thottungal.

Fundraising professionals and nonprofit leaders packed this amazing restaurant to network, learn and share ideas. In a world full of challenges, our sector is so much stronger when we all come together, united, to serve this community.

Thank you to everyone that attended. If you are not yet a member of AFP Ottawa, please reach out!

We can’t wait to welcome you.

An enormous thank you to Chef Joe & the Coconut Lagoon team for the hospitality & unbelievably delicious food!
