This Story (see details below) has hit very
close to home for many of us at Rhodes & Williams Insurance
Brokers. We are doing what we can to raise some money to help
this family out.
We are auctioning off two tickets to the Ottawa Senators game on
January 26th, 2010 against the New Jersey
Devils. The seats are numbers 13 and 14, section
322, Row P , and also come with a parking pass to lot #7. The face
value on the tickets is $36.64 each. To bid, you can tweet with #faucherauction in it,
or email me at coryy@rhodeswilliams.com
or send me a facebook message. Really just contact me with
your bid and I will do my best to update details of the highest bid
here. I will accept bids until 10 am tomorrow, and the
highest bid at that time will be the winner and will need to pick
up the tickets at our office by 4:30.
This is a great cause for someone close to home who
needs our help - please bid. Thanks

Rene Faucher Trust Fund
As many of you are aware, a very dear friend, father, brother
and husband in our community, Rene Faucher suffered severe injuries
due to an unfortunate incident in a pickup hockey game this past
Sunday. He went into the boards head first, and suffered a major
spinal cord injury. He underwent surgery late into the evening on
Sunday and was told on Monday morning he should not expect to walk
again.
Many of us can only imagine what we would do in a situation like
this. It is terrible and tragic. Rene and Dianne (his wife) have
three small children under the age of 5. Like most families, Rene
and Dianne are not in a position to cope with the financial burden
ahead. Unfortunately, they do not have long-term disability
insurance. Most of you know Rene and Dianne well, but for those of
you who do not, they are the type of people that truly make a
difference in our community. They are caring and giving beyond
belief. Dianne has been raising money for various charities in
Ottawa for the past 10 years. Now is our time to return the
favour.
I would ask you to reach into your hearts and only imagine if you
were in this situation how grateful you would be to have the help
of the people who love you and the support of your local community.
Please donate today to help this amazing family that really needs
our support. Every donation counts and will make a difference.
