'Ihere were 170 people at the Leaders of the Decade gala
at Hessenland last week. Emceeing the evening was Jenni-
fer Mossop, who impressed attendees with her stellar
communication skills and warm, compelling style not
only as the speaker of the evening but as a local resident
who, like most others, got involved quickly when she
moved to Grand Bend.
Mossop is a veteran journalist with a solid reputation
that won her a seat in provincial legislature.
Before introducing Mossop, Grand Bend Community
Foundation chair Pat Morden explained through the Com-
munity Foundation the Rotary Club, the Huron Woods
Association, the Grand Bend United Church and other
involvements, she met many exceptional leaders - "some-
times it seemed like virtually everyone in Grand Bend was
active in the community!" she told the gala crowd. She
explained that when it came time to mark the tenth
anniversary of the Grand Bend Community Foundation in
2011, the Board decided there was no better way than
through a celebration of the great leaders in this commu-
nity. "Hank Krech, founding Chair of the Foundation,
agreed to put together a committee and create this event
from scratch. We put out a call for nominations, and ..
the rest is history! Tonight we celebrate 48 extraordinary
people."
Morden said the most amazing thing is that they could
probably have celebrated 100 or 200 people. "In fact, I'm
quite sure Grand Bend has far more than its proportional
share of community leaders.
Shown here are some of the nominees and guests at the
October 28th event.
