The 16th annual trivia night fundraiser, under the direction of our own Stefan Kolbinger as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, enjoyed the momentum of a lively sell-out crowd that moved merrily through question categories. In the spirit of Canada 150, Quiz Master Bob Firth had developed questions based on our country and its history thus giving trivia players an opportunity to test their knowledge on everything Canadian from people and places to food and photography.
Additional highlights of the evening included
- presentation of a cheque in the amount of $10,000.00 by our President, Tom Everson, to Amy Gillespie, of the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation. These funds are being directed toward the new Community Addiction and Mental Health Services facility at the Cornwall Community Hospital
- president-elect Martin Nadon presented a cheque in the amount of $2,500.00 to the Aultsville Theatre group to help upgrade the sound and lighting systems at the theatre
- Sunrise Rotarian Katelyn Beaudette donated her lengthy hair to Angel Hair for Kids, a nonprofit organisation that creates wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. The hair was cut during the event by Cornwall hair stylist Angie Fontaine. Ms. Beaudette raised funds prior to and during this event in excess of $550.00 that will go toward sponsoring a wig for a child.
