Children’s Book Bank
A cause worthy of your attention! The mission of the Children’s Book Bank is to provide free books and literacy support to children who need them.
Many Canadian families and organizations own quality children’s books that they have outgrown or cannot use. The Children’s Book Bank saves these books from the landfill or recycling system and distributes them to children who otherwise would not own their own books.
You can help put books into the hands of Toronto children in low-income neighborhoods by supporting The Children’s Book Bank. From our cosy and welcoming location at 350 Berkeley Street, in Toronto’s Regent Park neighborhood, we provide gently used and new books free to children (from infants through age twelve) and their families. For more information, visit their website.
Our McDermott House Canada Golf Tourneys continue to do very well. We are pleased to announce the date for the next Ippolito Foundation Charity Golf Event (to benefit various charities including MHC) as June 22, 2013 at the Copetown Wood Golf Course, Copetown, Ontario. You can download a registration form here.
The true “home-run king”, 61 in 1961. Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961 breaking the record set by Babe Ruth. He was as great a role model as you can get.
Babe Ruth was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees where he set the single season home run record in 1927 of 60 home runs . The record stood for 34 years until on October 1st, 1961 Roger Maris hit number 61 against the Boston Red Sox on the last day of the season. The Yankees won the game 1 to 0 and went on to win the World Series.
In light of Lance Armstrong’s recent admissions of steroid use and the four big boys…McGwire, Bonds, Clemons and Sosa who did not make the Hall of Fame in the most recent (last week) voting rounds, I offer you this in praise of Roger Maris: he did it the old fashioned way. Roger is not in the Hall of Fame…and should be!
The Ballad of Roger Maris celebrates this sports legend, and the net proceeds of your purchase of this new single will go towards Hospice Care in Canada and the United States.
You can buy it on iTunes now and visit www.rogermaris.com for more information on this great man.
