The Successful Canadian Woman's Dinner
October 30, 2008 at Pier 21
Support Adsum for Women & Children by joining us in honoring Dr. Roberta Jamieson, a member of the Order of Canada. Among many achievements in her lifetime, Dr. Jamieson is a recipient of the prestigious Harmony Award in recognition of her significant contribution towards eliminating racial and social barriers in Canada.
Roberta is a Mohawk from the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory where she has resided throughout her life. She is known in Canada and internationally as a leader, a visionary and a skilled mediator.
The evening is a relaxed, fun event with a great meal, a silent auction and an inspiring talk by Dr. Jamieson. Tickets are $125 or $1250 for a table of ten. Call 423-5049 to reserve your tickets.
