...Last night at the Park Theatre, our gracious host Erick Casselman (great venue! call 295-7981 and go down and see for yourself), was forced to set up every last temporary seat he had in the building to seat the standing room only crowd of well over 250++ECHO and More than Shoes supporters for Canada's only screening of HAPPY, a documentary.
...After 90 minutes most everyone left with wide eyes and HAPPY hearts...and ECHO was thrilled to leave with a TRUCK-FULL of new childrens' WINTER boots for Sam's Christmas....
This did not happen without a lot of work and there are many thank you's in order...
...a very special thank you to Terry Smith from CARS, for sponsoring such a great evening...
...to Blue Bomber Obby Khan for being our Master of Ceremonies for the night...
...to the lovely Wendy Erlanger from More than Shoes for partnering up on this one
...and to the 250+ people who came out to make this a VERY HAPPY DAY!
...and while talking about HEROIC efforts...
...For over 8 years now, one gentleman has stepped up year after year in support of Sam's Christmas...
...and with each passing year his efforts surpass the previous years'...
...his networking, ideas and belief in this project never cease to astound us...
...as I was making my way down to our screening of HAPPY...
...I dropped by ELITE to pick up a banner that was just used in a sale at Cabela's arranged by this friend of Sam's Christmas..
...along with the banner being returned, we were also presented with a donation of $ 3500.00 from Cabela's Winnipeg- year end sale...
...to say that we are ecstatic by this type of support would be an understatement.
...to say that we are pleased to have a person with this tireless vision as part of ECHO couldn't be more true
...to say that we have a man like ROB CROWLEY as one of our friends.... is an honor.
From all of us at Project-ECHO...thank you.
Do good things,
Your friends at Project-ECHO
