Jennifer Dale This is your opportunity to be a valued sponsor of the Ninth Annual SCRABBLE® WITH THE STARS, one of the year’s most anticipated events. Why is it so popular? First, it supports The Performing Arts Lodge, (PAL) Toronto, a unique organization that provides affordable housing in a lively community to members of the entertainment industry. Second, SCRABBLE® WITH THE STARS is a one-of-a-kind, fun-filled event. Where else can you match words with such celebrities as Colin Mochrie, Deb McGrath, R.H. Thomson, Sarah Polley, Gordon Pinsent, Rod Black, Carole MacNeil, , Rick Miller, Jeanne Beker, Dave Broadfoot or Diana Swain! As a sponsor, you and your guests will mingle, at the very chic Arcadian Loft, with about 50 celebrities from the worlds of TV, film, stage, radio and sports. You’ll sit down at a table for 4, enjoy a delicious buffet dinner with one of the stars, and then you’ll launch into a rousing game of SCRABBLE®. If you’ve got the competitive spirit, you can bid on the services of World Champion SCRABBLE experts, who can help you go after big prizes for high scores. There’s a celebrity art silent auction and lots fun ways to win great prizes. And with a room full of actors, there’s always the possibility of an impromptu performance. No wonder SCRABBLE® WITH THE STARS is a fundraiser that spells success for everyone. Dini Petty, Paul Soles, Marilyn Lightstone Don’t JuST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. Here’s what some of our sponsors have to say about SCRABBLE® WITH THE STARS: Jean-Marc Mackenzie “SCRABBLE With The Stars is a special night in which we’re able to give back to the arts community, which has contributed so much to our society. In a room filled with celebrities, you’ll feel you’re at home, having fun with friends.” Jean-Marc Mackenzie, Senior Vice President, Morneau Shepell “You could have heard a pin drop when Paul Soles was speaking. I found myself thinking that it was a lovely reminder that being a senior and a resident of PAL doesn’t mean the end of things – just the opposite. I felt really proud about contributing to PAL and also felt determined to con- tinue my support.” Lynn Harvey, President Enter the Picture Productions Lynn Harvey, Jaymz Bee WHAT MAKES PAL A PLACE WORTH SUPPORTING? Think about how Canada’s actors, singers, writers, camera operators and other behind-the-scenes professionals have elevated our lives by contributing their life’s work to the theatrical, broadcast and cinematic arts in this country. You can acknowledge that contribution by supporting PAL. The Performing Arts Lodges, Toronto (PAL) is the first organization in Canada dedicated to providing affordable housing and care for members of the entertainment industry. PAL offers assistance in the areas of health, well-being and affordable accom- modation, in a lively community, right downtown. Also unique is PAL’s voluntary service, Supporting Cast, which is available to ailing or aging performing arts professionals throughout the GTA. Not surprisingly, residents love calling PAL home. But failing health for some of our aging residents can preclude independent living. Funds raised at the Ninth Annual SCRABBLE® WITH THE STARS will further the ongoing steps toward providing assistance to PAL residents so they can remain among friends with whom they share common bonds, while receiving the additional care they need. For more information about PAL, please see the attached brochure, or go to www.paltoronto.org YOUR SUPPORT WILL RECEIVE GREAT NOTICES!
