Happy Thanksgiving!

60th Anniversary

There were special vibes felt by all in attendance at the 60th anniversary held at the Gibson Centre on September 29th. It felt so amazing to come together in such a beautiful space after so long and to celebrate CLASS and all of you - our community, staff, people supported, families, committee members, donors and volunteers.

The winner of the Ipad draw is Jesse C (pictured above right) who is supported at the Tottenham house. Congratulations Jesse.

Congratulations to our 50/50 raffle winner Tara Nimmo! The CLASS raffle brought in over $3,000. Not bad for our first ever raffle. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets in support of CLASS. 

Thank you to everyone for making this 60th such a special evening and to MC Michael Beattie and Mayor Rick Milne for the special words about CLASS. A big thanks to the Gibson Centre for the beautiful venue, Casal Catering and the 60th CLASS Committee for all their hard work.

There are some great photos of the evening check them out on our website here. Or click on the anniversary images below.

CLASS had a special presentation from the Lundy Family the evening of the 60th. Brenda and Alan Lundy presented a cheque for $100K in memory of Alan's brother Neil who attended CLASS programs in the past. CLASS cannot thank the Lundy family enough for this donation. Photo (below middle): Brenda and Alan present the donation to Andrew Walker, Executive Director of CLASS.

A portion of the funds will be invested and have been set aside to help fund access to the CLASS summer camp program for people supported who may not otherwise be able to attend.

Alan and Brenda also had wishes to purchase a wheelchair accessible swing set at the Alliston Community Program to enable those in wheelchairs to enjoy the thrill of swinging. Abby in the photo (below left) is seen loving the newly installed swing.

In addition, numerous lounge chairs were also purchased with the funding for some of the CLASS group homes. Alan told a lovely story about Neil who loved a good lounge chair to relax in. Photo (below right) you can see Laura enjoying an afternoon nap in the new lounger purchased for Oak St. home.

Thank you Alan and Brenda for your kind generosity.
