Annual Love Your Neighbour Fund Raising Banquet & Lifechange Graduation Ceremony

I had been waiting and waiting for the pictures from our Love Your Neighbour Fund Raising Banquet and Graduation. As it turns out, someone put it in our safe when I was on vacation and forgot to tell me about it!

Many thanks to Bruce Vasselin of Designer Photgraphic Technologies, our locally reknowned photographer who gives his time and resources to make this event truly memorable.

This annual gala event was a sell-out with over 1000 people in attendance! With over 100 corporate and church sponsorships, and donations that evening, we raised over $88,000! But the highlight was seeing those 9 graduates and their children walk the stage. Men and women who have climbed out of the gutter, and are now productive members of society. Even our speaker, Juno award winning Steve Bell, said he'd never experienced such an excited and anticipative crowd at a banquet before.

Ladies and gentlemen, I now present the graduating class of 2007!
