A note of thanks from Lorraine & Sandy
Dear Friends,
I am totally overwhelmed with gratitude and heartfelt feelings for all of you who attended or assisted in any way for the wonderful Benefit arranged for Sandy and I on May 20th.
I have such a small family in Canada but that evening I felt that I was with one huge family. I truly felt the love in the room, and it was reciprocated.
I want to express special thanks to the team that drove the event, John McCormack, Peter Devine, Tommy Masterman, Gerry Devlin, Eddie Fraser, John Donnelly, Kerin Sparks, Peter Keeman and John Barry, to the Irish Club for hosting and Tommy Porter for his endless talent and entertainment.
Also, many thanks to the ladies in the kitchen, Werner Rost for his amazing salads, Bar Staff, ticket sellers, prize contributors, Gerry & Kelly who welcomed all at the front door, Rangers and Celtic Clubs and everyone who was in attendance that evening and contributed in any way shape or form.
I hope I have not omitted anyone but there was so many that were involved in making this a success. I hope you all had as good a time as I had, seeing many friends for the first time in a long time, and also enjoying the camaraderie of those I see more often.
My only heartbreak is that Sandy was unable to be there to tip a glass and share one of his corny jokes.
Special Love to you all,
Lorraine and Sandy

A note of thanks from Conor and Shannon Rushe
Conor and Shannon Rushe (children of Gabriel & Monica Rushe, long time members) traveled to Tanzania over the holidays to give the gift of education to children in East Africa, as well as conquer Mount Kilimanjaro! They spent 7 days climbing the tallest free standing mountain in the world & both successfully made it to the summit along with their 150 for Change Team Members. They then spent some time with the school directors and students of the CHETI schools located in the rural areas outside of Arusha which received the solar-powered tablets that work offline and are pre-loaded with educational material and learning games.
Conor and Shannon want to say a big, giant "THANK YOU!" to the Irish Club of Mississauga and its Members for hosting and supporting our fundraiser in September. We raised almost $3000 at the event to fund the purchase of the solar-powered, educational tablets that we brought to rural schools in Tanzania over the holidays. Your support is very much appreciated by us and by the students who benefited from your generosity. We are so lucky to be part of such a caring and encouraging community!
