| Hello from Brampton!
Submitted by
Renate Thompson On November 3rd we held our 16th Annual Charity Gala Comedy Night Dinner and Auction that brought in over $6000.00 to distribute to local charities. Once again we used the services of Yuk Yuk’s on Tour. We were privileged to have headliner Pete Zedlacher perform (2004 Comedian of the Year in Canada). On November 19, we participated in the Brampton Santa Claus Parade. A night event that lit up the cities Main Street. Our Conestoga wagon float accompanied by more than 20 members and friends and family gathered food and monies from the crowd. At last count we delivered over 6500 ponds of food to the Salvation Army Food Bank. It was a beautiful night. The Brampton Board of Trade, which hosts the Parade, and Rogers Cable TV who video the event provided Progress with some great air time this year. So now we get back to work on the Convention. A few more key components have been put into place. A Niagara newsletter will be out shortly with details including a PDF formatted application form that can be faxed to our registration desk. We are currently uploading our online application form and hope to have it ready for you to use in early January. Please remember registration goes up February 1, so I urge you to so send in your deposits. Speaking of deposits we will be processing the credit card receipts within the next couple of weeks. If you would like us to book your hotel room for you please contact Renate Thompson. Please note there are still 2 Jacuzzi suite rooms available. If you have any questions concerning convention, please contact our club thru our website www.cpcbrampton.ca.
We look forward to hearing from you!
