The culinary students at George Brown College served RTW members an incredible meal.
The Rotary Club of Toronto West (RCTW) in conjunction with the Canadian Landmine Foundation (CLMF) held a very successful fundraiser on June 6th at the Chef's House, part of George Brown College. The students handled everything from start to finish.
Three post graduate students, who had studied in Italy, designed the menu and spoke about their favourite individual dishes. Stephen Thiele acted as host for the event and his son, Taylor, had created a video-film, that highlighted the work in Cambodia. The fun was added by 8 door prizes and 5 fabulous raffle baskets.
Thanks to all of the attendees and RCTW & CLMF for their fantastic support. Huge thanks to our wonderful donors and sponsors: Ticketmaster, Bill Miles for Men, Cineplex, Newediuk Funeral Homes, the Village Players, Salon Allure, the Toronto Blue Jays, Jeff Starr of Remax, Gabby’s, David Crack, the Chef's House, and the Canadian Landmine Foundation.
Special thanks to the fabulous committee who made this happen: Jane Botsford, David Crack, the late John Hastings, Patti Lee, Susan McCoy, Mike Newediuk, Brian Spencer, Stephen Thiele, and Brad Wheeler.
All proceeds went to ensure clean water for Health Centres in Cambodia, a project that will be managed by Patti Lee, who is also a member of RCTW. Patti thanked the attendees for their generous support.
The event raised more than $7,700! The money will be used to dig two wells and to build two water towers. Money really goes a long way in Cambodia!
