All proceeds benefit our charitable programs - Meals on Wheels (serving Vancouver and Richmond), the Family Respite Centre and the Community Integration Project. We extend special thanks to Fred Lee, our emcee and auctioneer. We also thank all the donors who supplied gifts for our live and silent auctions (listed below). |
