January 3, 2012 – Acting in his
capacity as MP of Oshawa, Colin Carrie
'stuck his neck out' for residents over the
holidays.
On it were ties, 12 of them to be exact.
The MP showcased the dozen during his “12
Ties of Christmas” charity auction for the
Refuge.
“The ties are worn, and the bids are in,”
states MP Carrie. “I want to thank everyone
who helped out with this auction and placed
bids. Your bids and contribution will help
underprivileged youth this Christmas. I
would like to once again thank Peter McGill
and Leo Morin for donating ties and Dan
Carter and Channel 12 for hosting the
auction on their website.”
Bids were emailed to Channel 12 and
Carrie’s office. The auction of the ties
raised $1,072.50. On top of the auction, an
additional $655.00 in cash was donated
bringing the total amount raised to
$1,727.50.
“This was a successful auction,” stated
Carrie. “We received a lot of positive
feedback, and I hope this helps someone to
have a Merry Christmas. I want to thank
everyone who supported this cause. Dave and
Clarence from the Refuge are overjoyed at
the response.”
