Precious Hearts – Fundraising Dinner & Auction

The Vaughan in Action Community Program – a non-profit charitable organization geared towards assisting those with intellectual disabilities in becoming active members in the community – celebrated its 13th annual fundraiser Precious Hearts on Feb. 20th, 2009. Combined with silent and live auctions, raffles and a delicious dinner, all proceeds from the event went towards the work Vaughan In Action has done for persons with such disabilities in our community. www.vaughaninaction.com
