Lifesavers Charity Dinner Raises Over $80,000
This 3rd annual fundraising dinner for the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation was once again a sold out, smashing success. One hundred thirty four guest supported the charity and enjoyed an amazing, gourmet meal prepared by Chefs Taras and Audry Manzie of Southview Inn and Bistro in Kenora. The weather on August 9, 2008 was ideal and the beautiful setting provided by the Royal Lake of the Woods Yacht Club enhanced the evening.
Over $80,000 was raised for the hospital through dinner ticket sales, donations, and a silent auction program. Guests clamored for the wonderful items on display, which was made possible through the generosity of the Kenora and Winnipeg business community. It was great to see summer lake residents mingling with Kenora residents.
Nicki Douglas and Bob Kozminski were the Lifesavers Dinner Chairs and they tirelessly helped with all aspects of event planning and organizing. Their efforts were valued and appreciated by the Hospital Foundation.
The 2009 Lifesavers Charity Dinner is scheduled for August 15. If you are interested in attending please contact the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation to be placed on the invitation list.
Alternatively, you may wish to consider holding your own summer fundraising dinner next summer. The Hospital Foundation would be delighted to provide you with a reason to throw a party!
