Hey Sheila:

Just thought that I would send you a wee note to let you know that I have given out three DVD’s – people really like the ‘new’ package design! Please know that I really appreciate the ‘extra mile’ you went to designing this project. Your work is absolutely wonderful!!

Evergreen Hospice

Hello Sheila,
Thanks so much for helping us promote our Hospice Gala! We had a very successful evening – raising a new high of $130,000. We are thrilled with the results but we still have a lot to raise – with less than 20% annual funding from the Ministry of Health, we must fundraise throughout the year to cover the costs of our free-of-charge palliative care and bereavement support.

The exposure we receive from community publications really helps us to spread the word about the type of support that Evergreen Hospice offers in the community. We appreciate your help!

Many thanks,
Karen Warner, Fund Development Coordinator

 
     


Town of Markham

Hi Sheila,
I hope everyone in the community appreciates the sort of time and energy that you expended to make the Garden Festival and Easter Egg Hunt the great annual successes that really foster a sense of community in a relatively young neighbourhood such as Cornell.

I wish you every success in 2008 and judging by your ability to plan and run such successful events, you will succeed with whatever you choose to do with your talents.

Best regards,
Nory Takata, Parks Planner, Town of Markham

Laughter After

Sheila,
What a fantastic resource. I love the layout. The site is packed with useful information and news. The blog section is great. Shane and Sherri's story is quite interesting. That is an excellent fundraising effort.

I've bookmarked the site and will visit again.

Hasty Market "The Cornell Stop"

Dearest Sheila,
Thanks for your support. It's very helpful to have you in our Community. Thanks once again.

Organics Farm

Sheila,
Thank you for your email and the great article you wrote for SayItCornell.com. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to our farm! My children would like your daughter to know that there are LOTS of rocks she can pick in the field before we can plant... not their favourite task I'm afraid! The photos you took were great! As a small organic farm just starting out, we really appreciate the exposure you gave us and the positive comments – thank you.

Thanks again & take care,
Annice Passafiume

 
     



A Few Words From Our Readers in Scotland

Congratulations to you, Sheila, on the interesting, informative and successful website. It is an example of the theory that every presentation has a lot of preparation. Yes, even we in Scotland enjoy 'Sayitcornell'.

Passion For Desserts
Dessert Catering for Social Events "The most elegant and delicious desserts"

Sheila,
As recent residents of Cornell and new Small Business Entrepreneurs, we wanted to thank you and everyone behind SayItCornell.com. Your website has been a valuable resource to us and we have been able to connect with several companies for all of our personal and business needs (basement contractors, daycares, wedding resources, etc). All of your efforts to network Cornell businesses is bringing results and we are grateful for that.

Our first experience in a street event was the Garden Festival this year where we
made great business connections and found new clients. You did a wonderful job helping us prepare our publicity too – special thanks for getting our banner ready on time. The quality and beauty of your work is really outstanding.

Referring our desserts to The Cornell Café recently has brought us another great new client. We are delivering more desserts every week and Passion for Desserts is really happy to hear that Cornell is loving our sweets!

We look forward to building more community relationships, contributing to make Cornell a better place to live, work, and play every day. Thanks again to SayItCornell.com!

Sincerely,
Eduardo & Alxiomir, Owners

 
     



The Cornell Café

Sheila,
I wanted to thank you for introducing us to the wonderful dessert offerings from Passion for Desserts. The new desserts have been fantastically received by our customers! They love the presentation and quality of these new desserts, and the fact that they are made right here in Cornell is amazing.

Your efforts to establish stronger relationships amongst the businesses in Cornell is very much appreciated. We look forward to participating in future community opportunities. Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Raj Pasricha, Owner

 
     



Words From a Cornell Resident

Just wanted to drop a line and say what a great job you've done on your site redesign. Good on ya!

Cheers,

The York Region District School Board
Cornell Village Public School

Dear Sheila / SayItCornell.com,
Thank you for your generous donation (your map was an invaluable tool for the Scavenger Hunt) towards Cornell Village Public School's "Family Fun Day". With the help of contributors such as you, I am pleased to report that the day, in particular the Silent Auction, was a resounding success, bringing in over $10,000 in funds for the school and providing local exposure to its sponsors and contributors. This money will go towards much needed school initiatives.

We appreciate the wonderful write-up you gave the event on your website as well. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Karen Sutch, CVPS Advisory Council Fundraising Committee Chairperson

Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation

Dear Sheila,
I cannot thank you enough for your readiness to help with the Gala in so many ways. When tackling such a large endeavour in a short period of time, it is impossible to make it all happen without help, and you really knew how to provide the assistance that I needed, when I needed it. We certainly would not have been able to promote the Gala in such a wonderful way without your creative talents and hard work.

When the last dance was over, and the trappings of the event were being packed away, you were such a trooper, once again ready to say "yes" when the brochure needed 'tweaking'. Thank you so much for stepping up to the plate, and once again donating your time and wonderful talent to allow us to thank everyone so beautifully.

There is no question in my mind that you were integral to our success in raising just over $300,000, achieving our goal and surpassing last year's total! Being able to promote the event ahead of time with solid, targeted ads and thanking all those involved following with the double page spread, was extremely important to the overall success of the gala.

The attendance reached 750, and I am really happy to report that feedback from guests has been extremely positive.

The Hospital is very fortunate to have you as a supporter, and I cannot thank you enough for the assistance you so kindly provided. I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Most Sincerely,
Carol Wildgoose, Gala Coordinator
