Trudy’s Amazing Party
Saturday, March 21st, 2009Trudy Carey was celebrated on the night of February 16th at the Lord Nelson Hotel….over 100 friends, authors, illustrators, publishers, customers, current and former Woozles Staff and more joined in singing Trudy’s praises.
Gavin Brimer, son of one of Woozles’ original founders (Ann Connor-Brimer) flew down from Toronto to surprise Trudy and spoke warmly of her accomplishments…Brian Crocker spoke, telling the assembled crowd how Trudy has influenced our lives in so many ways…Sheree Fitch sent a poem via Janet Crosbie… Liz Crocker read out “25 Random Reasons Why Trudy is Terrific” as well as an e-mail from one of Woozles’ former staff…and Catherine Crocker read a heart-tugging letter from Suzy Crocker who has been trained by Trudy to lead the Woozles team starting in June.
As one of the ways of honouring Trudy’s fabulous taste in children’s books, it was announced that Woozles will be sponsoring a raffle of Trudy’s 30 Favourite Books of the Year (this year it is actually 39). Raffle tickets will be ready soon.
