Twitter is busy with congratulatory comments on last night’s Laughing Out Loud in Leaside ev
ent at the William Lea Room. Michael Zivot tweeted: “Great time at Laughing Out Loud in Leaside. Way to go Charlene (Kalia). Great grab bags Neal Bros.” Dr. Lesley Beyers said: “Great cause and great friends” as she posed with a couple of pals. The Caterer to Leaside, Andy Elder of Grilltime on Laird Drive, tweeted a picture of a delectable flank roll appetizer. We could eat too many Andy. This was the sixth annual Laugh Out Loud in Leaside and was held in aid of Moorelands After-School programs. This fine charity has helped children from less fortunate surroundings for more than a century. It is a reminder to affluent areas such as Leaside that more than 73 per cent of our families in Toronto live on less than $24,000 a year. Moorelands says that through its structured out-of-school programs, it provides disadvantaged Toronto children and youth with the tools and skills they need to succeed. They “teach kids how to make good choices, help them build competence, confidence and character, and connect them with caring adults and their communities.”
