It’s easy. Anyone can do it. …Port Perry’s only locally owned and operated Funeral Home Since 1846… Myles and Susan O’Riordan Myles O’Riordan FUNERAL DIRECTOR OWNER Mark Fletcher FUNERAL DIRECTOR PRE-ARRANgEMENT COUNSELOR Letters to the editor continued from page 2 Mailbox Bridge Club looking for members Dear Editor Scugog Marathon Hospital Bridge Club was formed in October 1983. The club was organized to raise money for the Port Perry Hospital as well as enjoy some games of bridge with friends. The group started with 20 people, growing to 40 members over time. This past year our membership numbers have dropped and consequently, our donation to the hospital has decreased as well. We play a set number of games and donate a small amount of money each time we play. We are anxious to keep the Bridge Club going so we are actively looking for new members. If you enjoy playing bridge and are interested in helping support the Port Perry Hospital, please call Gale Ballard at 905-985-7054 or Catherine Corden at 905-985-9412. Catherine Corden, Port Perry 2nd Annual Jamie’s Dream Gala – Success! Dear Editor It is with a great deal of warm in my heart that I write this letter to thank the wonderful community we are able to be a part of. On May 26th, Community Living Durham North, an agency supporting people with intellectual disabilities living in the North Durham Region, hosted its 2nd annual Jamie’s Dream Gala. The funds raised will keep Jamie’s dream alive and will be used to assist people who may be experiencing a shortfall to achieving their goals as well as supporting people to become valued contributing members of their community. We are deeply thankful to the great generosity this community has shown us. From the event sponsors, to all the donations for our Silent and Live Auction donors, the outpouring of support is incredible. This year we were able to raise approximately $27,000.00. Thank You! It goes without saying, the evening would not be complete or as successful without the incredible auctioneering of Gary Hill Auctions. He and his team has assisted from the beginning to ensure we are prepared for the event and his ability to navigate the Live Auction contributing significantly to the evening’s entertainment, excitement and success is something to look forward to every year. I’ll simply end by saying, what we have been able to achieve is because of you …. to keep Jamie’s dream alive while making a tremendous difference in the lives of people. Sincerely, Tracy McGarry – Gala Committee Chair
