Parsad Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 2014 Fairfax Financial Shareholder’s Dinner The Fairfax Financial Shareholder’s Dinner we hold each year, is set for April 8, 2014 at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto. We’ve always enjoyed support from Fairfax, and our last dinner was completely ridiculous, as Fairfax CEO Prem Watsa brought along 15 other executives, managers and CEO’s with him. The dinner is held in memory of JoAnn Butler, who was Prem Watsa’s executive assistant for many years. JoAnn passed away on May 12, 2009 from colon cancer, and she was instrumental in the success of our dinners each year. We raised almost $20,000 for “The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of Canada” in JoAnn’s memory last April. Fairfax Financial Shareholder’s Dinner Upper Canada Room - 18th Floor Tuesday April 8, 2014 Fairmont Royal York 100 Front Street West Toronto, Ontario (416)368-2511 Tickets are available directly if you scroll down the left side of the “Corner of Berkshire & Fairfax” website homepage at: www.cornerofberkshireandfairfax.ca Prices are the same as last year. - $75 for presentation only, and free water, coffee, tea, as well as available cash bar. - $150 for dinner and presentation. We have a limit of only 140 tickets this year, as the Fairmont Royal York did not have a lot of room available. So get your tickets early, as we will definitely be sold out by January. If anyone is interested in corporate sponsorship of prizes, or any donors for prizes, please contact me at cornerofberkshireandfairfax@gmail.com. Thanks very much!

No way I can get extra seats this year in the Upper Canada room...140 is capacity for the way the room is laid out for dinner. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemize Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sanjeev, question for you. If we wanted to donate money either to the website or to the chrones foundation, which would you to prefer? Also, if we want to catch most events, do we have a definite list for which days to come/go yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sanjeev, question for you. If we wanted to donate money either to the website or to the chrones foundation, which would you to prefer? Also, if we want to catch most events, do we have a definite list for which days to come/go yet? Either is fine with me of course, but if you donate directly to the CCFC (www.ccfc.ca), you will get a nice tax receipt! Yes, events are pretty much set: Monday, April 7th 6pm or so - Ben Graham Dinner - Location to be announced Tuesday, April 8th 9am - 4pm - Ben Graham School Value Investing Conference - Fairmont Royal York 3pm - 6pm - Norm's Pre-Dinner Mix - Fairmont Royal York Railcar Bar 6:30pm - 11pm - Fairfax Financial Shareholder's Dinner - Fairmont Royal York Upper Canada Room Wednesday, April 9th 9am - 1pm - Fairfax Financial Annual General Meeting - Roy Thomson Hall 1:30pm - 5pm - MPIC Funds Annual General Meeting - Roy Thomson Hall Pickering/Green Rooms Cheers!

argonaut Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks Sanjeev (and Norm!) for a simply wonderful experience! It was my first time and I really appreciated the opportunity to meet many folks, listen and chat with all of the speakers that you brought in, attend the seminar day by Ivey...and...now I think like Norm said somewhere...I'm ready for a reallly long nap (the days for me ran 7am till midnight and I think others may have run longer than me!).
