We are getting down to the wire and still a few seats left for this big night. Remember that a $45 tax receipt will be issued for each ticket purchased so your cost is really $85, for a great night out, fantastic New York steak meal, Gerri and the Kosters and three Elvis tributes one being a Collingwood Festival Champion.
Our staff has come up with some great prizes and silent auction items, one came in to day an awesome distressed leather WWII style Flight Jacket that I was modelling, hey it wouldn't zip up but it is awesome, size XL, diamond jewels, Raptors courtside tickets, weekend in Downtown TO with dinner at the famous Tom Jones Steak house beside the King Eddie, luggage, fashions, art. Great time to get some Christmas shopping done.
PM me for details or use the links above.
Here's a nice testimonial from Astro-Jet about my parties posted on July 2nd, 2009:
"I know we are not a formal club but I think we should appoint Ray as our "Social Director for Life". Every event I have been to run by Ray has been first class. "
And you know that I would be there Ray but for the fact that I have a conflicting event that night.
Guys, find a way to get to TO for that Friday night, you will NOT be disappointed. I know the owner of the restaurant and I assure you they will serve you one of the best meals in Toronto, (and BTW, they serve the best ribs period!!!) Make a weekend out of it, start your Christmas shopping and stay for the annual Santa Claus parade on Sunday, the biggest of its kind in the world. It will bring out the kid in all of you.
Hey moderators, we need some Christmas smilies!

Wow, we had our benefit last night, so many generous people attended and what a night of entertainment, my preliminary figures are indicating in excess of $10,000 was raised. We decided to cut back attendance to 100, actual was 104 and our room was jammed so a good move.
Great silent auction items too, even our TV stars went home with auction items. I now know what Peter Donaldson, Shelia McCarthy's husband is getting for Christmas and Colin Mochrie is getting a sweet pair of Serengettis from his wife Debra McGrath for his Birthday, just two days apart from mine!
Sounds good A sell out I'm sure
