This is Patricia Guernsey’s second and final year as Chair, with last year being the most successful in the Galas history.
Saturday, March 6, 2010 was the 9th Annual Guardian Angel Gala. As the Chairperson for this fabulous and very successful event I am honoured to say we broke records this year. The many volunteer committee members that worked dilegently, helped bring it all come together.
This year the recipient of the Guardian Angel was the Belleville Rotary Club. John Cairns, the President of the Club was honoured to accept the award.

Congratulations to the Hanley Family as they are the ‘Guardian Angel’. The Hanley’s have given so much for the children of our community and the ever increasing needs. The Hanley’s are true Gardian Angels and an inspiration to us all on what it means to be community leaders.

“United Way of Quinte is a volunteer led non-profit organization that works in partnership with community agencies and organizations to develop innovative and collaborative social services, health, and community programs.”
For the last two years, I was one of many people that joined the planning committee to collectively work toward a goal of raising $80,000 through an event that was hosted at the Sears Atrium on College St in Belleville through a Casino night. “With a Mardi Gras theme, more than $25,000 worth of auction items, black jack, other games of chance and entertainment, it promises to be a fun filled evening for all who attend.”. Last year this event raised $72,662 for United Way of Quinte. This year they met the goal to the penny $80,000.
Our final celebration was for the committee, an event at the Belleville Bulls game in a box suite with Uwe Krupp, former NHL star who was famous for scoring the memorable Stanley Cup goal for Colorado in the 1996 Stanley Cup finals.
Here are a few of our celebration pictures.
