Charity Event 1, Link (3) Bottle Drive Totaling $216.20 . WOW. Thanks to.........
On Sunday (mar 21st) , we completed our Beer/Bottle Drive with amazing results. With the whole family involved we watched the Bottles and Beer cases grow and grow. At times, I thought the tires on the trailer were going to burst! The turn out from our Family, Neighbours and our Neighbourhood was overwhelming. It really brought forth the meaning of "Paying it Forward" , not only for ourselves but also for our neighbours as well . So many of you commented on what a wonderful idea this was, with the proceeds going to The Durham Humane Society Most of us are aware of the Humane Society being burnt down not to long ago. The new building is to start construction in Apr. this year. The new building will be near the intersection of Thickson RD. and Wentworth St E. in Whitby. Our Thanks and appreciation go out to our Family Lisa and Jeff, Gail and John, Cheryl and Steve. To our Friends and Neighbours Shannon and Daniel (Daniel Co. owner of APOM ( Home Inspections), Courtney and Chris, Zack and Laura, Kathleen, Wendel, Betty, Sandy at ( Durham Humane Society), Cindy and Vera at ( The BEER/Distribution Center ) and also our thanks to the Weddingsaviours for reigniting the phase "Paying it forward " . The Humane Society is thank full.
We raised a whopping $216.20 . Thanks again from our hearts.
Lindsay and I topped it up to an even number of $225.00. ( 2 bricks with a phase and engraved , $100 each. $25 was a straight donation)
From the first pic (of us folding the fliers) to the last pic (of Lindsay and Braxton with Katie and Nicholas handing the money over to Sandy), this whole Fundraiser was excellent all around.

Our Family has pets, A dog and a cat named Harley and Davidson. Our love of animals is why our choice was The Durham Humane Society. In our present Economy, times are tough, spirits are low and it wasn’t until recently that we both were enlightened with the kindness of the heart and passion of the human soul.
A few weeks ago Lindsay entered us into contest to win a free Wedding (expenses paid for) with the Weddingsaviours. On Friday March 12th, just passed, we met with the founder of the Company along with some of the vendors supporting the cause. Our hearts were pounding with excitement after our meeting, because the both of us realized once again what the true meaning of “Paying it Forward” meant.
We would like to take this opportunity to “pay it forward to our Community”, to give back, to make someone else smile, to pause and think about others within our fast paced lives.
Our Main goal is to enlighten and to pay it forward, but for those that wish to be a part of our journey towards a free wedding. Come VOTE for Dennis and Lindsay at http://www.weddingsaviours.ca/
Regards and our Gratitude for your time and for Beer / Liquor bottles.
