Hi,
Please pass on to your Association my thanks for providing me with the opportunity to share the Georgian College-Orillia Campus story with you and your members. It was great to have so many people out and I was really impressed with your membership as names were introduced.
Thanks also for the wine…I will enjoy it with family and friends and think of you.
I also wanted to say that I remembered ….all on my own, albeit today, that the name of the Therapeutic Recreation program initiative with the seniors in our community is called Second Wind Dreams.
Hope all is well and you are enjoying your week.
Mary

Our trade show was well represented at our last meeting. Thank you everyone for coming out and being a part of this annual event.
For all those businesses that donated prizes, the OBWA would like to send out a heartfelt thank you…
One of her strongest beliefs has always been, “Having positive community engagement is the foundation to great happiness.” This belief and community support helped Sarah overcome a multitude of obstacles through the journey of opening Era 67 Restaurant.
Since the grand opening in the spring, Sarah has organized and executed community fundraisers. One event was for the Orillia Legion. Another event was the first ever “Cheeseburger Competition for the Terry Fox Foundation”. Sarah was a chosen guest speaker for Lakehead University and created the “Pursuance of Education” bursary for Lakehead’s Orillia students. Sarah has been involved with numerous community festivals, fundraisers and has supported and participated in a large number of charitable events. Sarah acknowledges that community involvement and building friendships and business relationships have been instrumental in her success.
Sarah will be on the Local Living television show for Rogers this fall and will also be featured in the YFM Magazine (Your Foodservice Magazine).
