In March 2009, we hosted our Spring Gala Dinner Dance in support of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Centres at McMaster University Medical Centre, Hamilton; Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital, Burlington; and St. Catharines General Hospital, St. Catharines. We held it at a new venue this year and it was a great success. Our guests enjoyed a wonderful meal, won great prizes donated by community and private donors, socialized and danced all night
We were very pleased to have Sharon Pazzaglia of the Niagara Regional Sexual Assault Centre join us. It provided us with the opportunity of presenting her with our donation.
Hammer City Roller Girls
For 2010, we have again been invited to help out the Hammer City Roller Girls as they host several matches with teams from Canada and the U.S. We volunteer at the door selling tickets and handing out brochures. And to say thanks, the Hammer City Roller Girls will generously be donating one dollar to our Club for every ticket sold. The season runs from May to mid August and we are helping out at 4 of their games. They are great girls (tattoos, piercings, multi-coloured hair and all). They also help the community by doing food drives and marshalling at the Take Back the Night Event and donating to Inasmuch House (an abuse shelter) and HIFY (Health Initiatives For Youth).
Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament
On Saturday June 12th, 2010, we held our second successful Annual Charity Golf Tournament in support of Victims of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence. Even though the weather didn’t co-operate this year – everyone enjoyed golfing, food and prizes and are planning to join us again next year on Saturday June 11th, 2011.
Here are some pictures of the day – golfers on the green and two of our members (Teresa & Carolyn) selling prize tickets for the closest to the pin and closest to the beer box
Special Donation by TD/Canada Trust
In July 2009, TD/Canada Trust donated $1,500 to SI Stoney Creek-Niagara as a one-time donation from the 2009 TD Charitable Budget. These funds will go a long way to assist our club in our fundraising efforts. Each year requests may be submitted for review and consideration. Pictured here are Director Billie Yakiwchuk receiving the cheque from bank employee Lisa Henriques.
Autumn Harvest Tea & Fashion Show
In October 2009, SI Stoney Creek Niagara hosted an 'Autumn Harvest Tea and Fashion Show’. It turned out to be a great success! It was in support of the St. Catharines YWCA and West Niagara Second Stage Housing and Counselling.
Everyone enjoyed the homemade scones (thank-you Jean Banks and Pat Copeman) along with the tea, sandwiches and desserts. The Fashion Show was also a big hit. Special thank-you to Laura and Laura Petites, at Limeridge Mall, Hamilton, for providing the fashions. Comments from the attendees were extremely favourable and all are looking forward to this year's Tea on Saturday November 6, 2010.
