Statement in the House

October 26, 2009

Volunteers under the leadership of Executive Director Judi Baril, President Rick Fry and campaign chairs Andy and Sharon Jordan with the United Way of Leeds and Grenville are conducting their annual fundraising drive.

This year they are working hard to meet the campaign goal of $925,000. The money supports 27 agencies that contribute to the quality of life in Leeds and Grenville.
33,000 people are served by these agencies annually.

As part of the fundraising efforts I am proud to present Hockey Night in Leeds-Grenville 3.

Conservative Members of Parliament, former NHL stars and local municipal and community leaders will be at the Leo Boivin arena in Prescott on Monday night, November 16, in a charity hockey game to support the United Way.

I want to thank in advance, those who are giving up their evening to play in the game and I want to invite everyone to come out enjoy a great evening for a great cause.
