Swansea Says Thanks

March 19, 2009

It takes a village to raise a child but it takes a community to build a playground!

Thank you to all the parents and friends who came to the Swansea Gala and Dream Auction on Saturday, Feb. 28 at The Old Mill. We had a amazing evening with dinner, live auction, live band and a silent auction.

None of this could have happened without the generosity of the many families and businesses who donated time and items to make this such a wonderful and successful event. We raised over $20,000 for the Swansea East Yard Playground Equipment which brings us nearly

halfway to our goal.

Thanks to: Platinum Sponsors, The Old Mill Inn and Spa; Gold Sponsors, Bloor and Kennedy Flower Shop, Eva Ballentine - Royal LePage, French Connection, Gitte Frederiksen, Great Lakes Brewery, Great Wolf Lodge, Hatched Eggr's, John Robert Powers, Kilgour family, Rachel Taggart, Ritchie's Auctioneers, Saha Family, The Tantrums, Thomson Rogers, Tracey Capes Fine Art and Treasured Moments.

We really can not find the words to express how much we appreciate everyone's help.
