20071128/多伦多史维会举办庆祝国会291动议通过餐会

11月28日下午4时,在联邦议会表决中,由华裔国会议员邹至蕙提交的有关日本就慰安妇道歉的议案已经获得全票通过。为此,史维会将在本周五晚(11月30日)举行筹款餐会,庆祝这一胜利,并欢送四位“慰安妇”。

对许多人来说,可能是第一次,也很有可能是最后一次见到这几位饱受屈辱又勇敢站出来呼唤正义的老人家。让我们大家一起站出来表达对她们的尊敬和支持。

餐会费用除去用餐成本,余数将用来购买纪念品赠送四位“慰安妇”,作为对她们的安慰,让她们感受一点温暖。

时间:11月30日周五晚七点开始
地点:Empire Oriental Cuisine
地址:3600 Victoria Park Ave. – Westside of Victoria Park & N.of McNicole
费用:$50/位

Dear respected friends,

On behalf of Toronto ALPHA, we would like to extend to you a joyous invitation to a Celebration/Farewell Gathering for the visiting comfort women.

The details are as of below:

Date: Friday November 30th, 2007
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Empire Oriental Cuisine
(3600 Victoria Park Ave. – Westside of Victoria Park & N.of McNicole)
Price: $50

In case you didn’t know already, the motion was passed by our parliament UNANIMOUSLY! This is a wonderful cause for celebration. Please come out and be encouraged, to enjoy the fruits of ALPHA’s years of hard work.
s you all know, these old ladies are already well advanced in their years, and so it may very well be your last chance to see them, support them, and to offer your compassion to them. I strongly encourage you to come out, as we’re sure that just your presence alone will be greatly appreciated by them.

The proceeds collected that night will fund the costs of the dinner, and also gifts for the four “grandmoms” to bring home. These women have suffered emotionally, spiritually and physically their entire lives. We believe what we do for them now will at least give them some relief and joy from their lifetime of hardship. Our goal all along is that they know, in their twilight years, that there is indeed true love and care in this world. Its never too late to help them know that the hope they lost, will now stand to be renewed.

We hope to see you all on Friday!

Please RSVP by return or call Venne Ng at (416)222-5742 ext.2 to confirm your attendance.

Thank you once again for your sincere support.
