THE JIM GILBERT’S WHEELS AND DEALS #HugOfTheWeek GOES TO… CARTER MCLAUGHLIN, AND 100 MEN WHO CARE FREDERICTON !! JOIN CARTER AND OTHER LOCAL MEN WHO SHOW HOW “MANLY” THEY ARE… BY MAKING A MEASURABLE, POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE GREATER FREDERICTON AREA !! FROM CANADA’S HUGGABLE CAR DEALER & Bell Media

100 Men Who Care are Very honoured to be the recipient (along with all members of @100MenWhoCare) of @WheelsandDeals “Hug of the Week this week.

100 men who care gleaner picture         Austism 100 men who care
Very happy to report that we presented cheques to Autism Connections Fredericton tonight amounting to $8900 by the time the evening was over and all cheques counted. This number hopes to inflate to at least $9500 in the next day. If you’d like to contribute, you don’t even have to be a member. You can drop off a cheque for $100, made out to “Autism Connections Fredericton” to Vagrant Creative100 Men Who Care
Care like a man. Show your community just how manly you can be by joining other local men who want to make a measurable, positive impact right here in the Greater Fredericton Area.
So we get 100 (or more) manly men (guys, dudes, bros, gentlemen, whatever you prefer) together, each with a $100 cheque in their pocket to give to 1 local charity that we all vote on that night. BAM! $10,000 in real money to a charity in our own backyard. We do it 4 times a year.
How do you get involved? It’s simple. You join us right here on this website and make a commitment to donating $100 4 times in that year. When you sign up, you nominate a charity. Then you stand by your commitment shoulder to shoulder with other local men… attend the meetings and bring your cheque!  It couldn’t be more simple.  JOIN US and make a difference.
How We Work
You don’t have to give a lot, alone.  You just have to give a little, together.  It’s a simple concept that enables us to make a positive impact in our community, together as a group of like-minded men.

The Basics

We don’t technically exist.  We are not registered.  We have no directors, presidents or treasurers.  We have no bank account.  We have no operating budget, because our members write their cheques directly to the recipient charity.  “We”, collectively, are just a group of guys getting together because we care about our community.  We are not an entity, but a movement.  Our core group of organizers are simply volunteers generously donating their time to try and make a difference.
The goal of the group is to support the wonderful work our local charities do, in funds, exposure, and awareness.

How It Works

  • Charities are nominated by the membership. There are eligibility requirements.
  • 3 charities are randomly chosen by blind draw from our list of member-nominated charities.
  • Representatives from the 3 selected charities will be asked to make a five-minute presentation to the group about that charities initiative and why they are deserving of the group’s vote.
  • After the presentations, a ballot is held and the charity with the most votes by simple majority will be the recipient.
  • All members must then write out their cheque to the charity with the most votes – no exceptions.
  • The selected organization will receive a group donation of $10,000 or more.
  • All the cheques are collected by the organizing committee and given to the chosen charity that evening.

Guidelines

  • Members who did not vote for the selected organization must make their donation to the charity voted on by the majority of those in attendance.
  • If a member misses a meeting, he must provide
  • Members will receive a tax receipt directly from the organization.
  • There is no proxy voting, but members who cannot attend must ensure their blank cheque (in a sealed envelope) reaches their ‘buddy’ or the meeting organizers before the meeting starts.
  • Organizations under consideration must serve the Greater Fredericton Area and provide individual tax receipts directly to contributing members.
  • The recipient charity is not eligible to be nominated/presented for 2 (two) years. The other two charities may be nominated/presented again after 6 (six) months.  The exception is a specific program within a large organization (for example a specific department or program within a hospital), which may be considered again for a different program or department at any time.
  • Ties will be decided by a draw.
  • The selected organization must agree not to give out member information to any third parties except for tax purposes.
  • Each meeting will open with a five minute update on how the funds donated at the previous meeting were used by the successful organization.
  • Meetings are diligently conducted in one hour or less (with ample opportunity for networking prior to each meeting).
Please visit our FAQs page to get answers to all your questions!

Where It Happens

To minimize our costs, we depend on the generosity of those interested in hosting our meetings every three months.
If you have a venue and would like to host a meeting, please contact us and we can work out the details.

Maybe you care too…

  • If you want to make a big impact your own community…
  • If you know that it’s more manly to care…
  • If you want to stand together with other men in your community to make a difference…
  • If you are a man of your word and can make a commitment…
Then please Join Us and we’ll change our community together.

You can choose extended coverage for the full length of your financing term, upgrade your protection to cover more circumstances, or even add payment relief to help keep you in your vehicle through difficult times.

THE JIM GILBERT’S WHEELS AND DEALS HUG OF THE WEEK GOES TO… BIG HEARTS SMALL CITY… AND THEIR NEXT PROJECT, “FARMER HERMAL DUGUAY’S HOME RE-BUILD” !! FOR INSPIRING US TO HELP FILL THE GAPS IN COMMUNITY RESOURCES… THANK YOU !!

union-street-fredericton-fire
An elderly woman who lost her apartment and all of her belongings in this Union Street fire in Fredericton is now receiving assistance from the group Big Hearts Small City. (My New Brunswick/Twitter)A community group called Big Hearts Small City, based in Moncton, has stepped in to help a 70-year-old woman who lost her Fredericton apartment and all of her belongings in a fire on Union Street on Friday.
Jason Surette, the founder of the organization, works closely with the Red Cross, which provides three days of lodging to people in emergency situations.
"Part of our task is to try to help someone find a place to go after that three-day period and that's what we did over the weekend."
Surette says he started Big Hearts Small City after noticing there was a lot of community support for people who lost their homes to fire as far as donating clothing and furniture, but if they didn't have insurance and weren't receiving social assistance they were often homeless.
"When it comes to a place to stay people don't think of that. You can donate them all the stuff in the world but if they don't have a place to put it, it's not going to be any good for them."
Surette expanded his services to Fredericton in January and says so far he is working with Killam Properties, although he would welcome other property management partners.
He says Killam Properties was "very generous" and willing to help the elderly woman who had no insurance and no where to go.
"It was such an elderly lady that it did take a little bit of extra time to find her a place within her budget and to meet her physical requirements so they've agreed to put her up in a fully furnished apartment until they can find a place for her to go within the Killam Properties network."
Surette says the 70-year-old woman was very grateful after such a terrifying experience.
"All she got out of her apartment when the fire happened was she grabbed her jacket, she had a nightie on and her winter boots and that's all she got out of her house."
The century-old home that had two apartments was so badly damaged by the fire it was immediately torn down.
Members of the Fredericton Fire Department did go back into the home with family members before the home was demolished and retrieved a few documents and family heirlooms.
Surette says the woman is very grateful and plans to work with the Fredericton Anti-Poverty Organization to collect whatever items she needs when she does find a permanent home.
"She really thought she was going to have nowhere to go and when she found out it was a furnished apartment she said, 'Do I have to bring pots and pans with me?' and I'm like, 'No you just have to bring yourself and a little bit of food with you, everything is in the building, in the apartment for you.'"
Surette says since he started Big Hearts Small City he estimates he has helped about 100 fire victims.

Janelle Fraser, International Speaker, Trainer, & Success Coach on CHCDTV with Jim Gilbert Canada's Huggable Car Dealer. Learn about Janelle and enjoy one of the most rewarding journeys of your life and we guarantee it!


What is the difference between happy and unhappy people or successful and unsuccessful people? What separates the leaders from the followers? Is there any area of your life you want to experience more happiness and success? Are you interested in being a leader that people love to follow?

The answer is simple… It’s all in your thinking. You may not believe me yet, but that’s what my other clients said just before they realized the impact of their thoughts on their reality. The genuinely happywildly successful, and dynamic leaders of today have a mind-set that is different from the general population and it is this distinction that has allowed them to rise to the top.
Janelle firmly believes that coaching is a “do-with” process as there is nothing she can do-to-you to magically get the life you want. A coach is simply a tour guide (highly skilled with a few tricks up their sleeve) and works with the client to get the desired results. Together you and Janelle will design a coaching plan that fits your needs and goals.
The following may be a new way of looking at personal and professional development, but if you really want results you will have to consider this. If your knowledge on the unconscious mind is limited please refer to “What is heck is my unconscious mind” for further understanding. After all, your unconscious mind keeps you alive!
Can you remember a time where you made a conscious decision to change a behavior, or act differently? Of all the times you have done this, how many of those changes actually lasted (be honest)? Not many! This is because you were making conscious change and all behavior, change, and learning is unconscious and therefore, we need to work with both the conscious and unconscious mind to create lasting change. This contributes to the reason Janelle is comfortable guaranteeing her results as a coach.
Janelle guarantee’s your results when you hire her as your coach; based on her experience her clients always get results (which is relatively unheard of in the coaching community). What this means is that she has strict selection criteria for personal clients. Therefore, individuals interested in personal coaching must be serious about taking their personal or professional development to the next level and must be willing to do whatever it takes to move themselves past their obstacles.
“I do not believe in “quick fixes” or “temporary” solutions which is why I very rarely do 1 session. However, it is very common my clients are achieving results after only 1 session. My private clients are committed to their results and can expect to invest 4-5 figures depending on the value and results they wish to obtain. All coaching relationships are unique”
