On April 22, 2014, The London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® held its 2013 Annual General Meeting. At the meeting, Andrew Wilkie, 2013 Christmas Gala Co-Chair, presented Shelley Baker, President of the Board of Merrymount Family Crisis and Support Centre, and Ailene Wittstein, its Executive Director, with a cheque for $24,646.36. This amount, raised by the 2013 Gala, is enough to fund one crisis bed for one child for a year.
LSTAR Bonspiel Committee Chair, Glen Gordon, was also on hand to present Mission Services of London’s Director of Fundraising, Ericka Ayala Ronson, with a cheque for $11,826, representing the funds raised by this year’s Bonspiel and LSTAR’s Home for Hope pins. This contribution raised LSTAR’s total donation to Mission Services since 1992 to $295,512!
