Us
-Too! Brampton Meeting
December 14, 2004.
Around
65 members, wives and guests braved the winter to enjoy
this delightful Christmas Pot Luck and year-end social event.
We were privileged to have Mark Dailey from Citytv as a
guest speaker at our event. Mark, well known as Co-Anchor,
"CityPulse Tonight" and "The voice"
of Citytv was
accompanied by a cameraman so the
event enjoyed media
coverage. And
Back by popular demand were Bruce Laing
and Josh Crocker to provide us with live entertainment.
What more could we ask!

Mark Dailey to address the crowd. It was a great start to
the evening!
Mark shared with us his sentiments following a diagnosis and
recent treatment of prostate cancer. Mark has produced a 5
part
Audio-Visual series on prostate cancer:
"Journey To A Cure"
The series has been aired over the Citytv channel.

Mark
is an avid supporter of our cause and we are very grateful
to have his support.
Members
enjoyed a sumptuous meal accompanied by live music.
Everyone knows Bruce and Josh by now but for our newcomers,
'B' & 'J' are our 'home-grown' talents from Georgetown.
The duo had delighted us at our June pot luck and later
that
month played at the 'Relay for Life' event.
So for this
Christmas pot luck they were back with another
program specially for Us-Too! Brampton.
The live performance
added a positively festive dimension to the evening as members
listened
and tapped to their Christmas favorites
and enjoyed many
old time favorites. The mood is captured in these pictures.
Our
thanks to Bruce and Josh for livening up the evening!
The event concluded
with our customary charity raffle which kept
members smiling as they won the many wonderful prizes.
The
top prize, the Afghan, ultimately ended up with 5 year old
Alisa
Luthra and has become her favorite snuggle in these wintry
times.
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who contributed
to the prizes. The Raffle is not only a worthwhile cause it
always
adds an interesting and exciting closure to the event.
This was one
very delightful evening.
Thanks everyone - have a great holiday season!
