We are especially grateful to the staff at Sunrise, whose dedication and hard work were evident as they spent countless hours meticulously arranging tables, decorating the venue, and ensuring everything was perfectly set for this special occasion.
A heartfelt thank you also goes out to the dedicated Rotaractors from the University of Guelph. Their enthusiasm and commitment were crucial in ensuring the event ran smoothly, truly embodying the spirit of youth and teamwork through their assistance with table clean-up and overall support.
