On December 23rd we entered another edition of Dorg’s Annual Sing a Long into the history books.
This was the 40th year for the event and we raised a staggering $14,887. That brings our Grand Total to $186,021. We look forward to doing it all again next year.
Here are the links to the pictures my brother-in-law Len took that night, and a link to me being interviewed on Global TV after I took the funds down to the Salvation Harbour Lights Mission on Christmas day:

Unprecedented Media Coverage

Never have the Merry-Makers garnered this much
media attention. CKNW, You Tube and the Vancouver Sun all paid
tribute.

media are captured below on the following links:
