Dear Rob & Steve,

It is with much gratitude that we would like to thank the community at small and large, for our second annual “Valentines Day” fundraiser for Beswick House.

Also there are some businesses that where last minute who regrettably did not appear on our February issue ad who were very much involved, whether up front or behind the scenes – namely Gaycalgary.com and Barbie’s Shop.

We would also like to recognize those businesses who continually strive to better our own community, and that of others. One of course being yourselves as GayCalgary.com, and the others being:

The Calgary Eagle
Twisted Element
La Fleur Floral Boutique
Westways Bed and Breakfast
Money Pennies

Their ongoing support of the community and selfless attitude should be commended.

In total we raised over $900.00 (although still counting the staff’s support from their tips, loose coin, and personal time) for Beswick House, and we hope through future benefits to double our efforts.

As we endeavor to better ourselves we can strive to stand together as community, and rely on each other. Thank you to the Calgary Gay and Lesbian community who continuously prove to amaze us all.

Allan Oen and Tim McDonald
Managers of Texas Lounge and Goliaths.
