Greetings!
 
Peggy Gillis
The past month has been very exciting for us.  We celebrated eighty years in business with our anniversary event and sale. My mother's birthday made this occasion even more special.  I would personally like to thank all of you for attending and making this event very special for all involved.  There was a great response to our invitation which enabled us to raise a substantial donation to one of our favourite charities; the future Abilities Centre here in Whitby. 
 
This month's Rousseau's Report has a number of photos of the "Parties For A Cause" Both our own 80th celebration and the Purple Martini Party raised money for specific charities.  Also check out our latest project and get a taste of what's coming in the future.

ROUSSEAU'S 80th ANNIVERSARY EVENT
 
On June 13th and 14th Rousseau's held our 80th Anniversary event.  We would like to thank everyone who attended and helped us celebrate this auspicious occasion.  Marcella Polson was on hand (celebrating her 83rd birthday) to cut the cake and join in the festivities.  As a result of the generosity of the attendees, we were able to donate to the future Abilites Centre in Whitby.
