Hospice Vaughan: Giving Thanks Gala 2009

On Oct. 2nd, 2009, Hospice Vaughan celebrated an evening dedicated to giving thanks at Le Parc Banquet Hall. Honourable guests included member of Parliament Maurizio Bevilaqua and councilor Tony Corella. Funds raised from this event went to those who will benefit from the hospice’s programs and services. The guest speakers, Dr. Kristen Terenzi, Franca Luciano and Alessandra Piccolo, reminded everyone that even when the quality of life has taken its toll, we all become victorious by virtue of enduring our journeys. Hospice Vaughan exists because of the efforts of our community and its various programs and services, including in-home volunteer visits, grief and palliative care education, support groups and caregiver support. Hospice Vaughan’s new board of directors thanks all who attended the Giving Thanks 2009 Gala.  www.hospicevaughan.com
