18 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday October 1, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Amazing results PHOTOS BY MICHAEL IVANIN / OAKVILLE BEAVER RACING AGAINST TIME: From left, Team Pink members solve a puzzle during The Amazing Race Against Time fundraiser for $Million or More Oakville ($MOMO) in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation and its efforts to combat the ravages of HIV/AIDS in Africa. Organized by a group of university graduates under team leader Gillian Zimmerman, the event was held at Appleby College, but saw participants wend their way through the downtown and back to Appleby. In middle, Laura Wheeler of Team Awesome listens for instructions before the start of fundraiser while Micha Fallon Walton, left, and Lucy Collins of Team Super Heroes warm up before the beginning of the race fashioned after TV's Amazing Race and Lewis' book, Race Against Time. With 18 teams participating, the event raised more than $7,200 for the cause and pledges continue to come in. Lunch at the Legislature in Time, Talent and Treasure auction Have tea with former mayor Ann Mulvale or have lunch and take a tour of the Ontario Legislature with Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn. Both will be on the auction block of the Time, Talent and Treasure auction as St. John's United Church strives to make a difference in Africa. Members of St. John's United Church's Power of One Team are following the Gandhi philosophy, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." So in addition to its many projects that include Canadian Foodgrains Project, Habitat for Humanity, Kerr Street Ministries, the new playground at Oakwood School and a Speaker Series on various social justice topics , the auction will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18. On hearing about the $Million or More Oakville ($MOMO) campaign, whose honourary chair is long-time church member Sally Armstrong, the church decided to get on board in doing something to raise funds to assist the millions of African children who are orphans being raised by grandmothers because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Currently 22.5 million people live with HIV in Africa of which 61 per cent are woman and there are nearly 12 million orphans. The Stephen Lewis Foundation, which is benefitting from the $MOMO campaign to raise $1 million in Oakville over two years, funds 140 grassroots initiatives in 15 countries across sub-Saharan Africa. The Time, Talent and Treasure Auction will be held in St. John's Hall on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m. The hall will take on an African décor for the event and wine and refreshments will be served. There will be a silent auction of celebrity-autographed, themed pillows and a Live Auction of a variety of Time, Talent and Treasure. Some examples of the celebrity pillows are Don Cherry, Darryl Sittler, Ron McLean, the Toronto Argonauts and author Alice Monroe. The Live Auction has a fascinating and varied list of contributions, such as artworks, a wheelbarrow of wine, cocktail, dinner and garden parties, tea with Ann Mulvale, lunch with Sally Armstrong, sports tickets, lunch and a tour of the Ontario Legislature with Kevin Flynn and a trip for two to Barbados will be auctioned.
