Gala Success

Posted by on November 17, 2011 | No Comments

An evening of great success, the third annual ‘Reason for the Season’ Gala fundraiser charmed its guests into giving a great amount to a great cause…the kids. This year’s event grossed close to $10,000 for the noble non profit organization Elevation Outdoors, a local group that takes at-risk and disadvantaged youth in the Kelowna area and lets them experience outdoor sports.

There are many aspects involved in creating a harmonious fundraiser. A beautiful ambiance provided by the Hotel Eldorado’s new banquet room, a stunning space bordered by floor to ceiling windows overlooking Okanagan Lake, set the stage for a prosperous night of food, drinks, music and fundraising.  The entertainment, music from Johnny Vs Johnny, provided an engaging atmosphere for casual mingling or cerebral socializing. An all star line up of donated goods and services was a key factor in the crowd’s generosity. Silent and live auction items were a wide array of themes ranging from quaint get-a-way packages, to a ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier signed robe, and finishing with a Mark Filatow hosted private dinner party for eight guests. Lastly, the 130 guests in this year’s Gala night played a key role in our achievements throughout the evening, and we cannot underplay their spirit and benevolence.

I must send out a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the 2011 ‘Reason for the Season’ Gala. The donors, volunteers, gala working participants and guests made this event an incredible success. To my family and friend’s, thank you for continuing to support me in my endeavours, you inspire and motivate me to ‘give back’ everyday.

Elevation Outdoors Helps Kelowna Youth

Posted by on October 20, 2011 | No Comments

As this year’s mild October approaches an end, Okanagan Valley residents begin to turn their thoughts to higher elevations where the next instalment of recreational escape can take place. Whatever your preference is; snowboards or skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles, cross-country or downhill, Big White or Silver Star the options are endless for many residents.  There are, however, pockets of the less fortunate within our community whose everyday life does not allow for the benefits of such a richly diverse natural habitat. The organization I belong to, Elevation Outdoors, attempts to expose underprivileged youth to such experiences.

Elevation Outdoors is a non-profit organization that works with disadvantaged youth in the community to develop their passion for activity in, and respect for, the outdoors.  We believe that engaging youth in the outdoors and in healthy living will help them to grow into active, strong members of our community.  Elevation Outdoors runs two snowboarding programs during the winter and one mountain biking program during the summer for youth between the ages of 11-17.  These programs give youth the opportunity to try a new sport, and give our mentors the opportunity to connect and educate these youth in various life skills.

We would like to formally invite you to attend this year’s ‘Reason for the Season Gala’. Tickets to this year’s event will be $60 which includes a three course meal, and an evening of entertainment.  As well, if you are interested in making a contribution in support of this year’s fundraiser we are asking for donations of silent and live auction items, door prizes, and cash. For tickets or to make a donation please visit: http://www.elevationoutdoors.ca/

Posted by on February 10, 2011 | No Comments

As you may know, bond yields influence interest rates so with a recent jump in bond yields caused by a major bond sell-off, banks are already increasing rates. This news also suggests that The Bank of Canada may increase its prime rate in Q2 2011. With rates on the rise and new lending rules taking effect this May, now is the time to buy if you have been considering a home purchase. Please contact me for more details on interest rates or changes to lending rules.
