In fact, the opposite has proven to be true. Working with non-profit organizations organizations and public institutions, I've met many wonderful people whose experiences experiences and knowledge have been very helpful - you just never know where you're going to find a good story," she said. And it's a lot of fun. Mrs. Burghardt says one of the most rewarding rewarding experiences she has had has been working with the parents, staff and students at Glen Dhu Public School. "They're a great group of people...very people...very energetic and committed to education...and they let me play with their Web page! "I'm looking forward to the next few years on the Durham College and UOIT boards; it's a different type of community service than I'm used to. There's a lot to learn and a tremendous amount of growth happening on the campus, but it's all very exciting." In addition to overseeing the editorial editorial operations at 10 Metroland newspapers newspapers in Durham Region and Northumberland County, Mrs. Burghardt has somehow found the time to: - serve as chairman of the Glen Dhu Public School Community Council, working to organize projects from fun fairs to resource nights.
