Just For The Fun Of It

The Banquet

It is very easy to move on to the next season preparation after the year end banquet without taking a moment to thank the businesses and individuals that made a significant contribution to the success of the event. Some were acknowledged on the day of the event but not all. Our thanks to Todd Minicola for the lighting and on stage special effects; Mike Soo for once again supplying the sound system for the banquet; Chris and Colin Wilson at A World of Rentals for the front of stage scaffolding; Mulrooney Trucking for the CO2 tank used for the fog generation; Bridget Walker Payne of Desjardins Insurance for the stage props; our on stage dancers for the opening – Korra, Emmitt and one unknown dancer; our ticket and merchandise sellers Susan, Mary, Lisa, Sarah, and Nancy; our ticket separators Jenn and Nora; Walter and Joe DaCosta and an anonymous donor for the Kingston Frontenacs Tickets; anonymous donors for the Toronto Raptors and Harlem Globetrotters Tickets; Mr. Jackets, PrimeTime Marketing, The Queen’s Campus Bookstore, and Rabbit Express for prizes; Mr Gilbert for his work acquiring prizes; Chris Payne for his stage management; Doug Jeffries and Mark Potter for being our Masters of Ceremony again this year; the presenters that gave up their Sunday to be a part of something special; Mary O’Neil Howlett and McDonalds Family Restaurants for the coffee service; Camera Kingston for the projector used in the opening and slide show; Maple Leaf Foods Ben Murphy for donating hot dogs along with anonymous donors; Grant’s No Frills for donating the hot dog buns; Pepsi for the drinks; and last but certainly not least, the MANY volunteers that helped with set up, clean up, food preparation and distribution. As you can see, the season, and especially the banquet does not happen without everyone from our league family doing what they can to help. IT IS APPRECIATED!

We received the results of our Five Guys event last night and here they are:
Burgers: 300
Poutines: 44
Milkshakes: 91

Total $435

Add to that the $121 in donations made by patrons and our total is $556 for this event. Another great result thanks to all of you that came out during some miserable weather and participated to make a difference in the lives of the children in our community. Our thanks too, to Tommy Doyle and the staff at Five Guys for their excellent work in getting everyone served with a smile and in a timely fashion throughout the evening.

Just one more sleep before we will be joining Joey and his staff at Five Guys Burgers and Fries at 770 Gardiners Road for our Dine to Donate Event. from 5 – 8:30 $1 from every burger, poutine and milkshake sold will come back to the league. What a great way to celebrate the end of the season, enjoy great burgers AND make a difference in the lives of the children in out community. Even if you can’t go, help us spread the word and make this our best Five Guys event yet.
