There were several special guests scheduled to attend this year’s gala, including Regional Councillor Deb Schulte, MP Julian Fantino, MPP Steven Del Duca, and Councillor Tony Carella.
Olive Branch volunteers shared their personal experiences working with the organization and answered all questions.

McCracken also shared the charity’s plans for the near future including building a home for over 40 orphans living with HIV/AIDS. A delicious 5-course dinner was served to all guests once the speeches were done. Thanks to everyone for showing up and making this a special night!
