Autumn Evening for Autism 2010
An Autumn Evening for Autism promises to be a fun evening with great food, wine, prizes and gifts.
Richard Yee's (owner of Wild Wood Steak and Chophouse) generousity actually had me questioning if I was hearing correctly!
With his donation of his restaurant, the food and staff for the evening, he has really set the tone and everyone else has come on board in the same manner - the wineries and the musicians, including over 35 restaurants who have given us gift certificates. The mood has been infectious!
Signature Cocktail and Canapés, Four course Dinner Exquisitely paired with Ontario Wines, Live Entertainment, Draws for $250 Champagne Gift Basket and 19" LCD HDTV ...... gifts and more!
Special Guests: Senator and Mrs. Jim Munson, Mr. Max Keeping
The money raised goes to support the Getting Started Services Clinic, operated by the Ottawa Children's Treatment Centre. Two hundred (200) children are seen each year in the Clinic, all at no cost to the family!
Don't miss out on this memorable evening that is making a difference in children's lives!
A special thanks to all our 2010 donors. Thank you for making a difference in these children's lives.
