| Chicago GaY Game Arrival and Send off party |
| |
Thursday July 13th
I’ve arrived in Chicago!
After two years of preparations, I’m finally here. It’s been two years of drama and triumphs, but I’m now here and ready.
It took a lot of preparation to get over a hundred Toronto athletes to this event, looking great. And there are several individuals that need to be thanked for all their efforts.
Kudos to Mike Ferguson and Stephanie Laycock for the immense effort they put in with the Team Toronto uniforms. Stephanie, Mike and their helpers devoted hundreds of hours surveying Team Toronto members, staffing the fitting sessions, putting the order together, putting the uniform together, and distributing them. Roots was a great choice and they did a “Fabulous” job. Team Toronto will look fantastic as we walk in Soldier Field for the Opening Ceremonies.
Thank you to Liz Devine and panel on the bursary program. Ten deserving individuals are going to the Montreal or Chicago games that would otherwise not get a chance to attend an event that will be the experience of a lifetime.
Pat Barry put together a great send off party at the Olympic Spirit Podium Event Centre. Thank you to Bill Walker and his staff for making us feel welcomed. And thank you to Kyle Rae for reading Mayor David Miller’s proclamation.
Rob Lavery organized our Team Toronto cruise on the Chicago River on the Saturday morning to rally the troops for the opening ceremonies.
I’m staying here at Gay Central in Chicago – Chicago Hilton – base for the Gay Games, and it’s starting to be an incredible week. Watch for delay reports on our website.
Yours in Sports,
Paul Savard

| BLUE JAYS PRIDE DAY – FRIDAY AUGUST 25th |
| |
Please join Team Toronto and the Toronto Blue Jays as we celebrate the 3rd Annual Pride Day at the Rogers Centre.
More information about Pride Day is contained in the attached flyer or can we found on-line at www.bluejays.com/special events under the “Pride Night” tab.
We are also planning on using this event as a welcome back party for those Team Toronto athletes who attended the Gay Games VII in Chicago and the 1st World Outgames in Montreal. So gather up your friends, family, co-workers and team-mates and come out for this fun filled evening in support of the Toronto Blue Jays and Team Toronto. Tickets can be ordered on-line at www.bluejays.com/special events or by calling Travis Baxter at (416) 341-1564.
The details for this event are as follows:
Friday, August 25 at 7:07 p.m. vs. Kansas City Royals
On Friday August 25, 2006 the Toronto Blue Jays will be celebrating our third annual Pride Day. The Toronto Blue Jays welcome the LGBT Community and friends to attend the game at a discounted rate. Past events have included celebrities such as Mark Tewksbury, Scott Thompson and Sharon Gless. Please stay tuned for more information on the 2006 events.
The specially discounted "Pride Night" tickets are $20, which represents a savings of $12 off the regular ticket price. A portion of each ticket will go to "Team Toronto", who supports LGBT athletes in Toronto.

Team Toronto welcomes you to Gay Games Chicago! |
| |
Historically, Team Toronto has hosted a breakfast for its members on the day of Opening Ceremonies - but to ensure you have the best experience possible at the Gay Games, we are making sure you begin with the best possible experience of Chicago - and that can only happen by water!
Please join your Team Toronto members for a river and lake tour of Chicago on Saturday July 15, beginning at 10:00 am.
This will be Chicago's most comprehensive boat tour. Our signature tour of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River includes a trip through the Chicago Lock and a live narration featuring an overview of architecture and history. Wendella Boat Tours provides unique perspectives of the magnificent buildings and architecture along the Chicago River before venturing out to Lake Michigan where guests are treated to a rich view of the entire skyline.

(the northwest corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge)

Please assemble at the docks at 10:00 am, the boat leaves at 10:15 whether you're on it or not!
Team Toronto has a group booking for this wonderful occasion, so you must RSVP to attend.
Representatives from the Canadian Consulate in Chicago will join us to officially welcome us.
Wear your Team Toronto uniform and wave your Canadian flags.
The tour is free for Team Toronto members - you are welcome to bring guests or partners, but ask that you understand we must charge them what it costs us.
Guests will be asked to pay US$12 to join us.
Please RSVP by Wednesday July 12 to:
