Open Arms Reunion Party!

Thanks to everyone who attended and supported the Open Arms Children's Foundation Reunion Party in December at Rosedale United Church! It was a hugely successful event with over 240 people attending and it raised over $10,000 to help support the medical and education needs of Chinese orphans.

We were also very successful at SURPRISING Deborah Maw with a tribute to her work and dedication over many years to both the OACF and the Open Arms Adoption Agency.

A HUGE thank you to our small but might team of volunteers: Patty Zuver, Susan Abbey, Deborah Maw, Laura Isidean, Kathy Soden, MaryAnn Crichton, Catherine Sim, Murray Rice, Shirley LaRouche, and Lisette Gelinas

We also want to thank the spouses and family members of our volunteer team. You are awesome and we are so happy you don't mind being 'volun-told' and conscripted into helping;) We love you very much!

And finally a big thank you to all the volunteers who helped the night of the event. Your help in making this event so much fun for everyone is really appreciated!
