Huronia Communities Foundation AGM
  
Huronia Communities Foundation Making an Impact
It was a huge success for the Huronia Communities Foundation as they held their Annual General Meeting Thursday, September 28 at the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre. With more than one hundred in attendance, the Foundation proudly granted funds to 11 recipients totaling almost $ 30,000 before moving into the formal AGM portion of the day. In many cases, grants went to small, lesser-known groups who were thrilled to be recognized and financially supported.
The importance of philanthropy was clearly illustrated by Dr. Pam Chart as she highlighted the impact of community partnerships while Andrei Manoukovski inspired the group, sharing his approach to successful and dynamic events like the Cedar Ridge Pops Concert.
 Cedar Ridge Classical Pops Concert – A Success
(Click for more photos)
Just imagine a soft breeze in a bright blue sky, the music of Mozart, good wine, a gourmet meal and amiable company. Such was experienced by 430 guests and 100 volunteers attending the 4th annual Cedar Ridge Classical Pops Concert held at the home of Andrei and Tatiana Manoukovski at Cedar Ridge.
The event raised $133,879 for the Huronia Hospital Capital Campaign, the Family Physician Recruitment Task Force and a new Cedar Ridge Endowment Fund administered through the Huronia Communities Foundation.
Guests were moved by two young performers who played their own compositions. The concert performed by the Toronto Chamber Orchestra under music director Mark Skazinetsky was dedicated to the works of Mozart with a finale provided by Three Young Tenors. During dinner, Heather Bambrick entertained guests with a more romantic repertoire.
The Cedar Ridge Classical Pops Committee wish to extend sincere thanks to all the sponsors and patrons who have helped to make this event successful and to the community at large for its support. The fifth anniversary is planned for August 11, 2007.
