Lumsden et al

On April 23, 2009, Community Living Burlington hosted the President's Dinner (yours truly) and this year's theme was a tribute/roast of Neil Lumsden. Neil as any CFL fan will know, played for the Edmonton Eskimos winning a couple of Grey Cups along the way. Neil and his family have resided in Burlington for many years since his playing days and he has a marketing business.

Guests speakers as pictured here. From left to right we have John Shannon of NHL TV, Greg Marshall, head football coach Western Mustangs, Neil, Jesse Lumsden (now of the Edmonton Eskies), yours truly, Gord Kirke, sports lawyer and agent, Ken Welch, CHCH TV sports anchor and John Wells, TSN. Missing but showing up later was Michael Landsberg.

The evening as a funds raiser was a great success, netting over $23,000 for the Community Living Burlington. It was also a very entertaining evening for sports fans and non-sports fans.
