Fly­ing Down to Rio War­dens’ Din­ner: Thank You!

Our “Fly­ing Down to Rio” din­ner was a spec­tac­u­lar suc­cess, bring­ing togeth­er 73 attendees and rais­ing vital funds for our much-needed kit­chen renov­a­tion!

A massive thank you to every­one who atten­ded, donated, and con­trib­uted.

Spe­cial thanks go to:

• The Fun­drais­ing Com­mit­tee but espe­cially to Brett Dav­ies, for lead­ing the organ­iz­a­tion, arran­ging the exuber­ant Batacuda Funk band and dan­cers, and provid­ing the deli­cious dessert cakes.
• Kev­in Chiew: For being a ter­rif­ic MC, keep­ing every­one enter­tained with music and wit while the kit­chen’s older ovens warmed the empanadas!
• The Reddy Fam­ily: For help­ing with extra kit­chen clean­ing, the Fri­day night setup, and a won­der­ful arrange­ment of fresh fruit for dessert. And espe­cially for their Fun­draiser raffle idea and find­ing spon­sors provid­ing the won­der­ful prizes.
• The Chiew Fam­ily: For the wine, soft drinks and table dec­or­a­tions, and Ruth Cham­pi­on for the empanadas.
• Eliza­beth Flem­ing & Brett Dav­ies: For a thor­ough hall clean­out and set up on Fri­day, and to Michael Flem­ing for his invalu­able kit­chen help, and pack-down assist­ance.
• Tiffany Chiew & Ann Petersen: Tiffany for organ­iz­ing and donat­ing most of the Silent Auc­tion items, and Ann for con­trib­ut­ing the door prizes. Thanks also to Amrit MacIntyre & Brett Dav­ies for Silent Auc­tion items.
• Jen­nifer McGov­ern: for the col­our­ful posters, menus, and Fun­draiser tick­et print­ing and Andrew Pat­ter­son for his pho­to­graphy.
• Nancy Cheng & the Cleanup Crew: For tack­ling the wash­ing up and restor­ing the hall.

Every­one thor­oughly enjoyed the com­pany, food, wine, and enter­tain­ment, and it is likely that the amount raised exceeded $6,000.

THANK YOU for your gen­er­os­ity, time, and tal­ent in sup­port­ing our par­ish life and kit­chen renov­a­tion fund!
