REALTORS® Care Volunteer Event Summer Sizzler June 24, 2006 with Siloam Mission REALTORS® Care teamed up with Siloam Mission for a second successful event. Our Summer Sizzler took place on Saturday June 24th, REALTORS® Care volunteers were in attendance to serve up a traditional summer BBQ.
"REALTORS® Care is about focusing our combined efforts on shelter driven projects and charities in Manitoba", says Deborah Goodfellow, Chair of the REALTORS® Care Board of Governors and organizer of the Summer Sizzler BBQ.
The REALTORS® Care crew arrived, BBQ's and all, at 10 am Saturday morning to prepare the spread for over 350 people. Siloam Mission patrons were treated to fresh fruit salad, veggies, potato salad, cake, cookies, chips, pop and of course the hamburgers and hotdog.
"Anytime we do something a little special for them it shows them that they are valued" Says John Mohan, Executive Director of Siloam Mission.
Dueling BBQ's in the parking lot of the Mission did double time trying to keep up with getting the burgers and dogs to the front lines fast enough.
Local Fiddler, Colin Dyck entertained the crowd with some old time tunes that made your head bob and your feet tap.
Ron Tardiff, MREA President stated "we live and work in these communities and it is an opportunity to give something back".
We would like to sincerely thank To-Le-Do Foods for their contribution to the BBQ. Without their generosity the BBQ would not have been the success it was.
