Marci Csumrik – Community Activist

You have a host of interests and causes including, the Orillia Youth Centre, Lighthouse Men’s Shelter, Ripple of Kindness, Orillia and Area of Physician Recruitment & Retention, Mariposa Arts Theatre, the Orillia Museum of Art & History, Farmers’ Market, and Orillia Chamber of Commerce.

What are your main ones in there from that list? Did I miss anything else?

No, I think you hit the nail.

Well because I like people, and not to sound corny but, I like meeting new people and I like to share what Orillia has to offer, and all those causes have great things to offer different pockets of people. So that’s why I’m involved, and normally the people that I work with are friends and I value their cause.

The Youth Centre, I think it’s so important to kids, there’s so many marginal kids out there that don’t get the opportunities that I was fortunate to have, so why not share that. And the people that are running those organizations are fantastic so I just think it’s important to share my support.
