Tis the season to be jolly!






Last evening we completed the last of the FAME holiday parties! What a smashing success this year as the staff and volunteers managed to put on five holiday celebrations for the friends and families of FAME. I took the helm in my usual spot at the stove because it gives me a chance to do what I do best....which is to feed the spirit of the friends and families who join us. This year we hosted events in Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke & Scarborough and the finale was our second fameKids party! Oh what fun.


On a personal note I'd like to extend my best wishes for good health, much happiness and a renewed sense of hope that a new year brings to all of us here.

Enjoy the pictures!











Another Year, Another 5 Parties!

Here at FAME we certainly know how to roll out the year with a bang. Last evening was our fifth and final Holiday party which would not have been possible without the ongoing support of our amazing staff and would not have been enjoyable without the participation of our amazing families and young ones.

It is such a pleasure for all of us to invite families out each year to enjoy some delicious food, desserts, ornament decorating and sing-a-longs. It is the laughter and energy that families bring with them that make each party a success of its own.

Hard to top last years gingerbread house's, but we came close this year with families decorating ornaments to hang around the house for the Holidays. I certainly never underestimate the creativity and artistic abilities of all of our families; it truly is incredible to see what a person can do with a little glitter and a lot of imagination!

This year we celebrating the upcoming Holiday with about 250 people and I don't think we would have it any other way.

Thanks to everyone that came out to make this year one for the books.

Happy Holidays to all and may 2010 bring healing, health, joy, and peace.
