M&M Meats To Sponsor "Beijiing to St. Marys"
Sunday, October 26th

Olympians Adam Stern and Chris Robinson
Share Experience

St. Marys – M&M Meats is donating the hot food items to help the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's fundraiser to restore the outside of its museum at 386 Church St. South. Olympians Chris Robinson and Adam Stern are going to speak about their experience in Beijing on Sunday, October 26th, at 6:00pm at the St. Marys Golf & Country Club. The Hall's president & CEO Tom Valcke, who was the Technical Commissioner for baseball at the Olympics, will host the event.

"M&M Meats have quietly supported every one of our endeavours for six or seven years now," said Valcke.

"It hasn't been their style to be paraded up to the stage for thanks - they simply believe in what we're doing and have always supported us with product, delicious product at that!"

Robinson, a native of Dorchester, was Team Canada's catcher and led Canada at the plate with a .313 batting average, playing in six of Canada's seven games. He also played errorless defense and was a welcome right-handed bat in Canada's left-handed dominated line-up.

Stern, who led Team Canada to the defeat of USA at the 2006 World Baseball Classic, was Team Canada's center fielder in Beijing for all seven of its games, playing sparkling defense without an error, and chipping in with four hits including a pair of triples and three RBI. His four runs were second-most on the team.

M&M Meats' finger foods will be served with punch, and the athletes will be available for autographs and photos.

Tickets are twenty dollars and all of the proceeds will be donated towards the museum restoration project.

There will be a powerpoint presentation with some wonderful photo shots, and a question and answer period will follow.

Tickets are available from the Hall's downtown administrative office at 140 Queen St. E., or from any St. Marys Rotary Club member and some will be available at the door.
