It Was Soup-er!

We had a great time Wednesday at the 2nd annual Soupfest for Support To Single Parents. Thanks to Nancy and her staff for inviting us and thanks to all of the restaurants in Greater moncton for supporting such a 'soup-er' cause! In the picture above you can see me with my gigantic spoon and Gonzague from The Barnyard Bar-B-Q...Great Gumbo!

Legs For Literacy $$$

Last night at The Running Room The Legs for Literacy committee made cheque presentations to School Districts I & II. The event this past November had more than 800 runners and walkers and raised $15,000 for reading programs in both school districts! It's interesting to note that the 2005 cheque presentations were for $500 each...so the funds were up more than 15 times this year! Magic 104 was very proud to be the radio sponsor for the event which promotes so many of the things that we believe in...Health, fitness, learning & fun! (Let's not forget the sweating, medals, and t-shirts either, eh runners? :-)

Toonies For Tomar

We got a letter over the weekend from our friend Principal Smith at Magnetic Hill Elementary School...Here it is:

Dear Tony & Shelli,

I wanted to pass on that we have a special project going on at Magnetic Hill School. It's called Toonies for Tomar and I'd really appreciate it if you could spread the word and perhaps our little project could grow into something really special. Tomar the Tiger is the icon of the Magnetic Hill Zoo. We have recently learned that he is quite ill and his time at the zoo is limited. As the School that has Magnetic Hill Zoo as part of its community many of the children have expressed an interest and concern for Tomar. I have been in contact with Mr. Bruce Dougan, General Manager of the Zoo, and shared the comments and best wishes from the children at our school. The next step was to see what we as a community can do as an act of support. The result is our "Toonies for Tomar" campaign. This week long campaign asks that each child contribute $2.00 towards Tomar. The monies raised will be used in one of three ways: for the ongoing to care Tomar, towards the purchase of a memorial for Tomar or to assist in the purchase of a new tiger for the Zoo. This way we can act locally on a "service-into-action-project" at our school. Your voluntary support of this cause is greatly appreciated.

Nicholas Smith
Principal Magnetic Hill School

We think that this is a great idea. If you'd like more information you can call Magnetic Hill School at 856-3428.

Hearts For Kandahar

We'd like to tell you about a really cool thing that a local group is doing for our Canadian military stationed in Afganistan. It's called 'Hearts For Kandahar'...and it's a chance to show our service men and women a little 'love' on the day when it means most...Valentine's Day! Heidi Gorham and a group from Riverview have come up with this idea and have gotten help from Master Packaging, Home Hardware and several local businesses. Starting this Friday, they will be placing collection boxes thoughout Greater Moncton and giving you a chance to send Valentines to Afganistan. The boxes will be around the tri-communities for about two weeks and will be collected at the beginning of February. They will then be sent to Gagetown to catch a flight for Kandahar so that our military women and men get them in time for Valentine's Day! If you are interested in hosting a box you can contact Heidi at heidigorham@yahoo.ca

We will also be hosting a Valentine collection box here at our studios at 1000 St. George Blvd in Moncton. Check back soon for a location near you.
Thanks for Listening!

*Magic 104 is a proud supporter of our Canadian service men and women. We don't look at it as a political statement, we instead choose to think of it as showing our respect to our thousands of brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, husbands, wives, & neighbors who work to bring Canadian values to parts of the world who have never known the type of freedom that many of us take for granted.

Rosie Vs. Donald

Here's the link to the Rosie Vs. Donald game we were talking about this morning. Shelli and I both recommend it as an excellent way to waste time at work! Go Here: Rosie Vs. Donald Thanks for listening! Tony Smith

Noooooooooooo

Tragedy. Plain and simple. Gil Grissom is leaving CSI tonight. Take some personal time to reflect and perhaps sob a bit today. Feel free to post your feelings and we'll email the web link to CBS.
