Men of Uxbridge — imagine the impact if 100 men each gave $100 on the same night.

That’s exactly what happens at 100 Men Who Care Uxbridge.

A few times a year we gather for a relaxed evening of camaraderie, good conversation, and community spirit. We hear about local charities doing incredible work right here in town.

Then we vote.

Each member contributes $100, and together we present thousands of dollars to the charity chosen that evening.

Sometimes generous philanthropists even match the donation, multiplying the impact.

One evening.
$100.
Real change for our community.

Join us.

Invitation to Join 100 Men Who Care Uxbridge

Dear Friend,

Across the Township of Uxbridge, there are countless organizations quietly doing extraordinary work supporting families, helping those in need, enriching our community, and strengthening the place we all call home. Many of these charities operate with limited resources, yet their impact is profound.

That’s where 100 Men Who Care Uxbridge comes in.

Our group is built on a simple but powerful idea: when men in our community come together with purpose, generosity, and camaraderie, we can make a meaningful difference quickly and directly.

Several times each year, members gather for an evening that blends good company, enjoyable dining, and genuine community spirit. During the meeting, we hear brief presentations about local charitable organizations serving Uxbridge and the surrounding hamlets. Members then vote, and the charity receiving the most support becomes the recipient of that evening’s collective donation.

Each member, or member group, contributes $100, and those contributions are pooled together and presented to the chosen charity. In just one evening, a local organization can receive thousands of dollars in operating support - funding they might not otherwise have access to.

Even more encouraging, some of our collective donations occasionally get matched by legacy donors and generous philanthropists, multiplying the impact of what began as a simple $100 commitment.

But beyond the dollars, what makes this group special is the spirit behind it.

It is an opportunity for men in Uxbridge to gather in friendship, goodwill, and shared purpose; to enjoy an evening together while knowing that our collective effort is strengthening the very community we live in. The atmosphere is welcoming, sincere, and uplifting. Many members tell us it has become one of the most rewarding gatherings they attend all year.

If you believe in community, generosity, and the power of collective action, we warmly invite you to join us.

One evening.
One hundred dollars.
One powerful difference for a local charity.

We would be honoured to have you with us.

With sincere appreciation,

100 Men Who Care Uxbridge

A little humour for you!
The Rugged Outdoor Woman

During her physical examination, a doctor asked a retired woman about her physical activity level. The woman said she spent three days a week, every week in the outdoors.

"Well, yesterday afternoon was typical; I took a five hour walk about seven miles through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through two miles of brambles. I got sand in my shoes and my eyes. I barely avoided stepping on a snake. I climbed several rocky hills. I went to the bathroom behind some big trees. I ran away from an irate mother bear and then ran away from one angry bull elk. The mental stress of it all left me shattered. At the end of it all I drank a scotch and three glasses of wine.”

Amazed by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoor woman!"

"No," the woman replied, "I'm just a really, really sh*tty golfer."

A reminder to anyone who has pets and uses a diffuser......
This is from our breeder from a friend of hers.

Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terror. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off. Sunday afternoon, he was feeling better.

Today at work, my dog sitter said that he wouldn't come out from under the bed. It was very odd as he is a happy dog.

I came from work early and again, he was very confused about who I was.

So I took him to emergency vet.

It turns out that the tea tree oil I was using in the diffuser is toxic for dogs. Thankfully the test showed that his liver was ok but we weren't out of the woods yet. He was given fluids under his skin to get the toxins out.

The vet and the poison control are saying that they see these cases often now that the popularity of essential oil is growing.

Please make sure that the essential oils you are burning are not toxic for your pets.

Here is a list of essential oils not to use if you have a dog at home

Anise (Pimpinella anisum)
Birch (Betula)
Bitter Almond (Prunus dulcis)
Boldo (Peumus boldus)
Calamus (Acorus calamus)
Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora)
Cassia (Cassia fistula)
Chenopodium (Chenopodium album)
Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum)
Garlic (Allium sativum)
Goosefoot (Chenopodium murale)
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana)
Hyssop (Hyssopus sp. with the exception of Decumbens)
Juniper (Juniperus sp. with the exception of Juniper Berry)
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
Mustard (Brassica juncea)
Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium)
Red or White Thyme
Rue (Ruta graveolens)
Santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus)
Sassafras (Sassafras albidum)
Savory (Satureja)
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Terebinth (Pistacia palaestina)
Thuja (Thuja occidentalis)
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

A little humour for you!
To My Liberal Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2024 but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Canada great. Not to imply that Canada is necessarily greater than any other country. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wished.

To My Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
