Welcome to our blog. The man you see to the left is Ted Long, responsible for this effort for the past 17 years.The mission is simple but demanding; provide food and presents for low income and sheltered families at christmas time.
Last year, we serviced over 300 hundred families and we're told that this year the number will be even higher.
We can't do it without the support of our caring friends and neighbors.
As well, what we would do without the help and support of the barbelonians at Sonny's Bar and Grill, is anyone's guess.
Additionally, we appreciate the help from other caring bar owners such as Lionel Aucoin at BassLine Station and Dan and Pam Cowley at Don Cherry's restaurant.
In the days to come, you'll see new postings with more information and a charting of our activities and progress as we attempt to reach our goals. We hope you'll join us in this effort. We have a lot of fun in the process and we all share in the great feeling of knowing we did a good thing afterward. Yes, a pint or few are tipped.
We're based out of Sonny's Bar and Grill, 1119 Baxter Road, next to the Ottawa Citizen.
Call 613-829-1920 and ask for Sylvie.
Stay tuned.
