Wednesday, June 2,1999 * Heritage Ball on Saturday a * fundraiser for Millennium Clock By Ron Dennis SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Remember the early days of television? Even then, the com­ panies who sponsored our favourite programs knew just when to insert their messages for absolutely maximum impact. There was Roy Rogers, sur­ rounded by at least four black- hatted (and probably black­ hearted) villains -- all wielding six-shooters -- and generally in the terminal stages of being miffed at our hero for breaking up their cattle rustling exercise. Roy is down to his last bullet in each of those pearl-handled beauties at his hips. His dog Bullet is off finding Dale Evans and Pat Brady is likely perform­ ing an oil change on Nelly- Belle, his rickety Jeep. Meanwhile, we're all sweating bullets for our dauntless hero, despite knowing deep in our lit­ tle racing hearts that he'll not only survive, but capture the nasty rustlers. But how? That's when the action broke for some commercials and the show's sponsors took over. Of course, nobody moved an inch from the old black-and-white TV, for fear of missing the end­ ing. But sponsors -- all manner of companies who want their product or service messages out before the consumer -- are not a bad thing. These companies also put a lot back into the communi­ ties they seek to access, and the Oakville 2000 Millennium Committee's elegant Heritage Ball is no exception. (It's com­ ing up June 12th and if you want to attend, call Jane Kelly at 337- 9434 to fence off a ticket.) At $200 a ticket for this black-tie affair at the brand new Rattlesnake Point Golf Club, the ball, entitled "It's About Time...", will raise some serious dollars to fund that handsome new pedestal clock slated for Lakeshore Road's Towne Square. Here's where a group of very community-minded spon­ sors, from small storefront oper­ ations to the big national brands, come in. They're generously donating products and services for both the major draw and some 150 silent auction items to help raise even more funds for the Millennium Clock, one of the legacies that the committee intends to leave in its wake for future generations of Oakville residents to enjoy. Take the major draw prize -- a week of sun, snorkelling, sail­ ing and sightseeing at Hawaii's Outrigger Hotel -- for example. It's bound to raise plenty through draw ticket sales at the ball and comes to us thanks to Canadian Airlines, Holiday House, Bruce Hood, American Express Travel and Accessory Concepts (donors of a five-piece set of American Tourister luxury luggage). And let's not forget one of the Platinum ($25,000) spon­ sors, The Oakville Beaver. They've generously provided space in both the news and advertising holes to help broad­ cast the committee's major events. Just last week, the Beaver helped again, running a story about the Heritage Ball com­ plete with picture of models Gary and Melody -- pouring champagne and dressed to the "nine-point-nines" in a tux and gown. Again, sponsors were involved; the stunning ball gown was provided courtesy of Tocca Finita while the elegant tuxedo was courtesy of Blazer for Men. Without this community- minded support from sponsors, it would be virtually impossible for the Millennium Committee to reach its goal of celebrating the past and sharing the future by organizing several events and projects throughout the year. I don't know about you, but this kind of "message from our sponsors" makes me proud to be an Oakville resident. By the way, Roy Rogers did extricate himself from that pick­ le I described earlier. While the memory is a bit dim, it seems to me faithful dog Bullet arrived in time to disable one villain, just as Pat Brady pulled up in Nelly- Belle to accidentally knock down another. That left Roy -- with lightening draw and unerr­ ing eye -- to expertly shoot the six-guns cleanly from the hands of the other two. Now, let's all sing "Happy Trails to You" -- Heritage trails, that is . . . Wanted: host families for visiting students In July and August, Oakville will be invaded by 80 friendly Spanish and French students. In July, homes for 10 students are needed and in August, 20 students. Red Leaf student Programs (formerly The Language Workshop) will be bringing these students and their leaders to Oakville. The students in July are aged 13 to 19 years, and the August students are 17 to 20 years old. While here, the students will study English in the mornings and do interesting activities in the afternoon. Evenings and weekends, the students will be able to relax and have fun with their host fam­ ilies. Homes with teenagers, couples with no children, and single parents with children make great host families. Remuneration of $ 110 per week will be paid to each family to cover the cost of pro­ viding two meals a day and a separate bedroom.
