As the 2008 Annual Meeting approaches, MDRT representatives have made way for some quality playtime in Toronto. With nearly 8,000 people expected to attend the June Annual Meeting, MDRT members wanted to leave their mark on the city in a special way.
On Friday, May 23, MDRT President James E. Rogers and I helped welcome children of Toronto’s Regent Park community to a new $70,000 state-of-the-art Kids Around the World (KIDS) playground. With the help of two of Sun Life Financial’s top MDRT member advisors and other volunteers, the playground was built in five days and dedicated to Lord Dufferin Jr. and Sr. public school.
Lord Dufferin serves 600 students who represent more than 30 language groups, 68 percent of which consider English a second language. The playground will create lasting memories and provide a safe recreational environment for the school’s students.
As part of the MDRT Foundation, the philanthropic arm of MDRT, we aim to give back to our communities. We hope you take the time to reach out to your community and help those in need.
