A Special Thank You

I would like to give a special "thank you" to these three local businesses whose heightened generosity and goodwill have been instrumental in the success of RAYS:

1. Envoy Business Services (365 Roncesvalles Ave)

Jasmine generously donated her printing services for our posters and flyers. Thanks again Jasmine! Your continued support of RAYS (she also helped us in 2008) is incredibly appreciated.

2. Revue Cinema (400 Roncesvalles Ave)

Mike and the good folks at Revue Cinema generously donated the use of their theatre for showing advertising for RAYS doing the coming attractions before the feature film. Thanks again guys! You helped us out in 2008 and you're helping us again in 2009. RAYS is grateful for the support as well as having the Revue back up in running in Roncey!

3. Chander Chaddah, Sutton Group Associates
