               We note with appreciation the support of the Town of Midland, Town of                    The decision to move our annual Red Carpet event from February to April
               Penetanguishene and the Township of Tiny. Their granting programs make                   meant that we did not hold our largest public in-person fundraising event in
               a wonderful difference not only to CLH but also to many other community-                 fiscal ‘23-’24. The feedback we received  in advance of the decision to host
               serving organizations in this region.                                                    a springtime Red Carpet Concert was universally positive.

               Midland Civitans, the Rotary Club of Midland, St Paul’s Presbyterian Church,

               St Vincent de Paul, and Georgian Bay Food Network makes a definite and
               positive impact on CLH-served individuals throughout the year.
