If you've been a consistent reader of my blog(s) you know I was involved in organizing a local edition of the Night of 1000 Dinners in support of the Canadian Landmine Foundation. The event was last night (March 3) at the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Sarnia.
The dinner went off (almost) without a hitch. Aside from some minor technical problems, everything went as planned. The food (courtesy of Legion volunteers) was spectacular. The games (courtesy MC Tim Fugard) kept spirits up. Short speaches from Alex Palimaka, Anne-Marie Gillis, and Terry Burrell helped drive the message home. All told, the dinner raised over $2400 for the Canadian Landmine Foundation . All of the money raised will go directly to demining and rehabilitation of communities torn by landmines.
Thanks to everyone who came out in support of a great cause, thanks to everyone who made generous donations, and thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this event a success. We had barely over a month to get this set up and we pulled it off. Hope to see you all next year!
