Once again this year, as has been the tradition for over 34 years, the Rotary Club of Oshawa - Parkwood is selling Heritage Christmas Cakes and Maple Leaf Smoked Hams for Rotary projects, it was announced, today, by Devon Biddle, Past President of the Rotary Club and Chairman of the fundraising event. The Rotary Club of Oshawa-Parkwood supports many community services such as Lakeridge Health – Oshawa, the Colonel R. S McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre, Senior Citizens, Handicapped Adults, the Kids Safety Village of Durham Region, Participation House, Grandview Children’s Centre, YMCA, the Salvation Army, Simcoe Hall Settlement House, Mary Street School, UOIT and Durham College and many other services, here in the Durham Region and throughout the world. “The Heritage Christmas Cakes are a three pound fruit cake, and are packaged in a gold and red box. Reasonably priced at $25.00 each, it makes for a very affordable Christmas gift,” Mr. Biddle said. “Our customers have a choice of Maple Leaf Deli Country Kitchen boneless smoked hams. The hams, which weigh approximately 2 kilograms, can be purchased with the regular mellow smoke flavour or with a double smoke flavour in Black Forest. The purchase price for either ham from Maple Leaf Meats is a real bargain at $25.00 each”, he added. The hams are firm and meaty, yet tender in texture. They contain less than 6% fat, and come from whole muscle ham with no fillers. Each ham is individually packaged in an attractive festive carton, perfect for gift giving. “We have seen a significant increase in purchases from the business community in Oshawa, over the last few years. We thank them very much. Many corporations and companies are changing their gift giving away from alcoholic gifts to those that the whole family can appreciate. The businesses want to treat their employees and their customers in a manner which better reflects their company’s values. And that is why the Christmas Cakes and Maple Leaf Hams have become very popular Christmas gifts for your family, friends, neighbours, employees, coworkers, or even your favourite customers,” Mr. Biddle remarked. “In past years, we have seen businesses and companies in Oshawa and the surrounding area, switch their gift giving entirely to the Cakes and Hams for their employees and their valued customers. This year will be no exception,” he added. Orders may be placed with Rotarian Devon Biddle by calling 905-576-2563 before November 27. You may also email your order to him at ljbiddle@sympatico.ca. OR Orders may be placed with Rotarian Dave Andrews by calling 905-576-0187 before November 25. You may also email your order to him at dave.f.andrews99@gmail.com. The Cakes and Hams will be available very close to December 8, just in time for the gift giving season. Rotary brings together a global network of volunteers who dedicate their time and talent to tackle the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges.

Sandy Hawley, without a doubt, is one of the greatest race-riders ever produced in Canada. Hawley, a brilliant athlete and ambassador for the sport of Thoroughbred racing, has set new standards for jockeys. In the high stakes environment of racing, Hawley has distinguished himself with his clean living, fierce competitiveness and an uncanny way with horses. He currently ranks eighth among jockeys in career wins, and has been called the crown prince of the “Sport of Kings”. Among the highlights of Sandy's career are 31,455 mounts, 6,449 wins, 4,825 seconds, 4,158 thirds, and $88,666,071 in purse earnings. Sandy Hawley was inducted into the Canadian Racing Hall of Fame in 1986 , the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1992, and Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. After his retirement from racing Hawley began a new career as a public relations ambassador for the Ontario Jockey Club. Hawley currently resides in Pickering, Ontario with his wife, Lisa, and sons, Bradley and Russell. Jockey Sandy Hawley will talk about his world famous horse racing career and he will invite our Rotary club to once again , spend a Day At The Races at Woodbine. SPOUSES INVITED TO THIS MEETING.
