The 4th Annual Wine & Cheese Evening & Silent Auction took place on Saturday, October 18, 2014 in Ottawa.

Everyone enjoyed a great selection of cheeses, desserts, wine and much more. Live music was provided by local Ottawa jazz singer Jozée Devoua. At the end of the night, $3,919 had been raised to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC).

“What a great turnout for this event’s first year in Ottawa,” said Union Rep Dean McLaren, whose wife Christine is the primary event coordinator. “We were so grateful to everyone who attended for their generosity and we cannot wait until next year!”

Thank you to Christine McLaren for an outstanding job in organizing yet another successful event. And thank you to our sponsors VIA Rail and the Westin Hotel in Ottawa, and to the many artists who donated their works to the silent auction.
