Host A Dinner Save Lives

The Sarnia Lambton Federal Liberal Association is Proud to Host A Night of 1000 Dinners - an International Event for Global Humanitarian Mine Action.

On March 3 area residents will join many others for the sixth annual Night of 1000 Dinners in an effort to raise awareness and resources for the need to clear the millions of landmines that have been placed in countries around the world. This year has special significance for Canadians, as it is the 10 anniversary of the Ottawa Treaty banning the use of anti-personnel mines world wide. The chief architect of the treaty was Lloyd Axworthy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs. He is currently a Member of the Board for the Canadian Landmine Foundation.

Sarnians are asked to participate by purchasing a ticket for a dinner to be held on March 3 at the Sarnia Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Dinner is at 6:30p.m. and tickets are $20.00 . All proceeds raised will go to the Canadian Landmine Foundation . The Foundation will be sending resources to Bosnia Herzegovina this year. Tickets can be obtained by contacting me.
