Rouge Valley Centenary Buy a Bed campaign
 
Heart of it All
Greetings!

Thank goodness it's Friday everyone!

We are sending out this Special eBlast to all of the friends of the RVHS Foundation to let you know about the many exciting events coming up in the next few days.

We thought you would want to know about the return of the Highland Creek Heritage Festival Bed Races tomorrow. And, be sure to watch Breakfast Television on Monday morning when our Buy a Bed Bed-a-thon goes live on TV!

Our many Buy a Bed supporters will be excited, we're sure, to hear about a free way they can help the campaign raise funds thanks to our friends at WagJag and Toronto Community News. Read more below or visit www.buyabed.ca to register.

Also, be sure to pick up a copy of today's Scarborough Mirror. We are so pleased that they have dedicated a four-page special section, which includes a wonderful tribute to Margaret Birch, a long-time supporter of our hospitals who had the distinction of becoming the first woman appointed to the Ontario Cabinet.

And on that same note, there is more news regarding June 23, when we hold a double celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Margaret Birch Wing and Mrs. Margaret Birch's 90th Birthday!

All of this is included in today's eBlast and we hope you can join us or support us in any of these efforts as you are able.

Thank you for your continued support,

Dave Stell, Communications Specialist
Rouge Valley Health System Foundation

This group of adventurous Buy a Bed campaign supporters are spending the night to raise funds to help purchase new beds for Rouge Valley Centenary as part of 'Bed, Breakfast and Beyond: The Great Margaret Birch Wing Bed-a-thon'.  

Be sure to watch City TV between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. to see the fun. Breakfast Television's Jennifer Valentyne is planning to be on hand to give everyone a wakeup call and join in on some of the fun of a bed-making contest and the bedside karaoke sing-a-long.
