THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT JOINED US LAST NIGHT AT OPERA BOBS! I am happy to say that the evening was a huge success (and lots of fun too)!!
J and I couldn't have done it without all of the generous donations so thank you again to;
*Awesome Paws/Camp Greyhound
*Nothing Added
*Happy Houndz
*Greyhound Supporters
*Lois
*House of Earl
*Steam Whistle Brewery
*Helmutts Pet Supply
*Tania Boterman www.tbotart.com/
*Unleashed in the City www.unleashedinthecity.ca
*MEC
& of course Opera Bobs and the Unknown Culprits
TOGETHER WE RAISED OVER $1,000 FOR GRA.
Below are a few photos from the evening.
The pumpkin and the artist
The band
The crowd
We have been talking with a friend of ours who owns a bar, Opera Bobs in downtown Toronto about hosting a fundraiser for GRA
www.martiniboys.com/Toronto/Opera-Bob%27s-Public-House-nightlife.html
He and the co-owners of the bar have been running 'what they like to call 'Goodwill Mondays'. These run once a month (on a Monday!) and basically the bar allows any charitable cause to set up for the evening to raise funds. The bar donates a percentage of the till to the cause and also a $50 gift certifcate to be used in a raffle or as a door prize.
We have reserved the date of Monday, October 26th for GRA.
We are hoping that we'll be able to get a band out to play to really make a night of it. I am requesting that all of the Toronto grey owners (and any other greyt families) will spread the word to their friends and relatives and come out for a drink on the 26th.

UPDATE :
I am pleased to say that we have The Unknown Culprits booked to play at our fundraising event on the 26th.
