This year’s Mayor’s Dinner was attended by over 500 people. In many ways we were overwhelmed by the generosity of the evening which raised nearly $30,000 towards our work. The evening recognized Lucille Mitchell and the founding of the Hospice of Waterloo Region. Once again the evening was a celebration of outstanding contribution to Kitchener-Waterloo.
Our special thanks go to Mayor Carl Zehr, Neil Aitchison, Lawrence Bingeman and the staff at Bingeman Park, Dominic Cardillo, Margaret Motz, Andy Nessner, Dave Kropf at Encore Printing, Free man Formalwear, Bill Janzen of Janzen Pianos, Don Allen, Rebecca Mancini, Norm Finkelberg of Grower Direct, Jim Crawford, and many others. We would also like to – thank the Patrons and Community Sponsors for their contribution to the dinner.
