History of the Dinner
The first No Child Alone Dinner was held in January 2016, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Rossbrook House Inc.. It was the first ever dinner of this calibre in its 40-year history…. And was a tad different than the events previously held for participants.
Chaired by now Rossbrook House Board President, Brenda Hasiuk, January 28, 2016, saw 575 individuals come together in celebration.
The evening, emceed by former Wi Wabigooni EA, Tina Keeper, included a performance by the Rossbrook Rockers, remarks by current & former participants, a video by APTN – highlighting Rossbrook House as a “safe place to belong, play, learn and become…” and more.
