Community Festival Event - Renna's Sports Bar and Grill -

1st Annual Charity Event for the Hospital for Sick Children -

August 15, 1999 - 30 Beverly Hills Drive - North York Humber

The North York Community Council recommends that the 1st Annual Charity Event for the Hospital for Sick Children being held by Renna's Sports Bar and Grill, be declared a community festival event.

The North York Community Council submits the following communication (July 12, 1999) from Mr. Bruno V. Timpano, P. Eng., Operations Officer, Renna's Sports Bar and Grill:

"This letter is written to formally request permission to hold our proposed charity event. More specifically, Renna's Sports Bar and Grill in association with Councillor George Mammoliti, would like to hold an 'outdoor' charity event with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Hospital for Sick Children Foundation.

The event day would be August 15, 1999, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. This event location would be at Renna's Sports Bar and Grill at 30 Beverly Hills Drive (Jane Street and Wilson Avenue area). The 'party' would take place outdoors at our west side parking location (see attached sketch). We propose to serve food and beverages, including alcoholic beverages within the parking lot area.

We feel this event would not only help the small businesses involved in the charity event (employ several people), but also is an excellent opportunity to promote the area, create and promote community relations and community involvement. The shear density and diversity of this area lends itself to an event of this nature. Most importantly, the biggest winner would be the Hospital for Sick Children. If successful, our full intention is to make this an annual charity event for the Hospital for Sick Children.

Please also find attached proposed letters to be issued to City of North York Public Health Department, City of North York Fire Department and Toronto Police - 31 Division.

Event day highlights will include a hair cut-a-thon, fashion show, live band(s), D.J.'s, outdoor beer tent and outdoor B.B.Q. and much more. We also hope to attract radio, television and newspaper 'people' making next year's event even bigger.

We await your timely response on this matter. Should you wish to contact the undersigned, you may do so at 416-725-7879 or you may contact William Tararran at the location at 416-247-2070."
