AN
EVENING FOR PAUL BIRDSALL
We have received some great news. As you may or may not
know, Paul Birdsall's condition deteriorated quite
rapidly and as a result he was put on the transplant list as of Dec
1. On Dec 6th, Paul was given a liver transplant. He still has a long way to go
and has been in the hospital, all but for a few days, since July and it could be a
month or longer before he is able to return home from Toronto General Hospital.
A
full update has been posted on the MORSL Website in the Trash Talk
forum...
Bob MacLean has booked Colonel Mustard's (newly renovated) for Tuesday, Dec 11, as a P.B. Night.
Please come out to share in some Christmas Cheer with your MORSL friends, watch the Leafs beat Boston, have some wings, and if you'd like to make a donation towards Paul's out-of-pocket expenses, we know it would be appreciated.
We'll bring some cards for euchre if you'd like to play.
We urge you to come out 7:00 pm 'til whatever. Thanks, on behalf of the Birdsall Family.

AWARDS NIGHT A HUGH SUCCESS
We seated over 200 guests at our annual awards night including
some pop in guests. This was a significant increase over
previous years. Great thanks to Peter Scudds for setting
the schedule and keeping to his goal of having people on the
dance floor by 9:00pm. From the feedback we've received
it was a great evening. Congratulations to all award
winners.
We will post pictures on the website
as they become available.
