On Thursday, March 10th Charlie Coffey, O.C., Executive Vice President of RBC Financial Group kindly hosted an elegant dinner party and cocktail reception for the sponsors and friends of the Fund's 22nd Annual St. Patrick's Day Luncheon. The special guest for the evening was Colum Egan, Master Distiller of Bushmills Irish Whiskey who had flown in for the event. Colum Egan spoke to the guests on the merits of the oldest distillery in Ireland and the very smooth whiskey that was enjoyed by all!

Bill Neill, Chair also welcomed Tijana Arnautovic, Miss World Canada 2005 and representatives from Muskoka Woods, CIBC, TD, a few of our proud sponsors of the Lunch and Bring a Kid to Camp in Canada. Eithne Heffernan, Director kindly performed tradional Irish harp music during dinner and Jonathan Lynn brought the evening to a fun close with the story of his father's experiences pouring pints in Cork.

We are tremendously grateful to our generous host Mr. Coffey and the Royal Bank for helping us to raise awareness and funds for the Camp Programme 2005.

Our heartfelt gratitude to each of our guests who pledged their support that evening.
