Sunshine Kids Update

Here are some good works being done across the country through Sunshine Kids donations.

In Halifax, Sunshine Kids made a donation to the Halifax Children's Hospital (IWK Health Centre) towards a new nurse/patient calling system in the Children's Cancer Ward.

In Toronto, Sunshine Kids has supported Sick Children's Hospital with the purchase of five computerized IV units for the cancer/oncology department.

In Vancouver, Sunshine Kids is assisting Sick Kids Hospital with funds towards creating a recreation games room for patients.

There are several trips planned for this year. A trip from Halifax will be going to Texas to a "Country Hill Event" in June, 2009. A trip from Vancouver is going to Steamboat Springs, Colorado in March, 2009 for Winter Games. A third trip from Ottawa is planned for New York for a "Broadway Break" in July, 2009.

It's really nice and rewarding to see our hard work come to fruition.

Pat Melhuish, our Canadian president is presently working on an Ontario Gala Dinner and dance to be held on Dixie Road Mississauga on May 29th. I will pass along the details when I get them.
