Terry Guilbault received a call this morning from Michael Blackie, Head Chef at the National Arts Centre regarding a dinner for the Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund, details below. The dinner is for 480 people, with all proceeds going to the relief efforts in Haiti. Tickets are $120.00 each with a tax receipt of $65.00. Michael Blackie along with 14 other chefs in Ottawa are donating their time and talents and all the food, wine, etc will be donated from suppliers so that all the proceeds will flow directly to the relief effort. Let's show them that 90 George residents really care! Terry expects this event to sell out very quickly so it will be a first come basis. The event will be held on Thursday, January 28 6:00 PM at the National Arts Centre.
Tickets are available at the NAC Box Office or through Ticket Master at 755-1111 or
www.ticketmaster.caOnce you purchase your tickets, contact Catherine Mullen, and she will coordinate to have everyone sitting at the 90 George tables.
In light of this terrible tragedy we are asking for your help with our fundraising event in support of the suffering families of Haiti. Together we can make this a resounding success!
