products has proven to be the recipe for success now in their 21 year of business evan macdonald and his wife cathy were the proud recipients of the anthony roman award in 2006 presented at the annual celebration of business excellence in markham this award is bestowed upon a markham business that has experienced incredible success in addition to giving of their time through volunteer activities that contribute to positive growth in the town of markham like the former mayor anthony roman who gave freely of himself to build a great community this award is a fitting tribute in his honor im thrilled to have won this award says evan evan and his family have always believed in giving back to the community and hope that by setting an example other businesses will also get on board marking their seventh year as the presenting sponsor the village grocer has significantly increased their financial support for this years gala april in paris making them one of the largest supporters of the markham stouffville hospital foundation evan and his family have always believed in giving ltor cathy and evan macdonald with cathys mother doreen parker back to the community and hope that by setting an example other businesses will also get on board like everything he does evan pours his heart and soul into the foundation gala last year he and kevin thistle of angus glen golf course were cochairs of the live auction committee and theyve accepted this responsibility once again not only do they challenge friends and coworkers to top each others bids they challenge themselves with raising the bar each year in terms of prizes and proceeds last year they set out to raise 50000 and the final tally came in at 62000 our goal this year is 75000 and well shoot for 100000 the year after says evan evan alludes to possible prizes that may include a trip to paris golf and sports- themed vacations electronics jewelry and more while its still premature to confirm the packages he does guarantee that the event is going to be incredible funds raised from this years gala will go towards much- needed equipment for the emergency department initially the department was built to accommodate 35000 patients per year but treated in excess of 50000 patients last year dr andrew arcand chief of emergency medicine confirms that the first two priorities will be the purchase of an ultrasound plus a cardiac and vital signs monitor as spring approaches evan is trying to make room for his treasured botanical section at the village grocer its a fun time of year- out- ofcontrol stupid evan laughs plants fill every corner and crevice and just when you think theres no more room another truck pulls up and unloads evans love of plants is one of the main reasons plans are in the works for building a larger store with an increased demand for more products and an expanded wholesale division the store is bursting at the seams however its important to evan that the intimate atmosphere hes created along with the allimportant marketlike ambiance is retained the village grocer is reminiscent of european priorities where people work to live and choose fresh ingredients on a daily basis so its fitting that the theme for the markham stouffville hospital foundation gala is april in paris at the village grocer you can pick up a fresh baguette along with sumptuous pastries an extensive selection of meats vegetables and imported products help you to serve up oneofakind meals but when your time and energy are in short supply you can still eat right with a full line of prepared foods made on the premises by evans motherinlaw doreen parker and a full team of cooks being a good citizen is as important to evan as is providing the best food and customer service in the area he invites all his friends and colleagues to join in on the fun at this years gala april in paris ik mrrkhrm stouffviu hospital msh foundation for sponsorship volunteer opportunities gift donations or to reserve tickets contact
