Gaetan joins me
in thanking each of you for your support in raising funds for LEUCAN
(children fighting cancer). With your donations we were able to collect 936$
for " The Shaved Head Challenge".
Unfortunately, the person who inspired us to take up the challenge never
knew what we had achieved. Nicole Moreau died last Monday night of a very
aggressive generalized cancer.
While research was not able to prevent Nicole's death, hopefully children in
the future will live long, healthy lives. This will be possible because of
your help. THANK YOU once again.
Listening to the caller: Members of the Circles and
Squares Dance Club were strutting their stuff at the Sarto Desnoyers Community
Centre in Dorval recently as they held a special event to introduce newcomers to
the club.
