Movie premiere
a successful fundraiser
for hospital foundation
The most exclusive event in town Saturday
night was held at Theatre Three-Eleven,
where an intimate crowd toasted the film
premiere of Listowel’s Next Top Doc.
Dr. Rob Annis said the event was born out
of the Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation fundraiser held earlier this year, where
the idea was hatched to host a film and sell
tickets for $50 in order to raise money. Annis said the block of tickets had to be expanded once people started getting interested.
“We were actually going to only sell 30,”
he said. “There was lots of demand so we
went to 50.”
Ticket-holders were invited to the worldpremiere on Saturday night, offered a selection of hor d’oeurves provided by chef Alex
Petter before the screening of Listowel’s
Next Top Doc. Annis described the movie
as several vignettes tied together, with no
real intent.
“There’s no real plot or theme to this
movie at all,” Annis said. “There’s lots of
deeper layers, like an onion, but only a few
of the deeper people are going to see that,”
he joked.
Those lucky enough to see the film were
treated to several doses of commercial parody, a shot of commentary on the state of
Ontario’s health care system, and a guest
appearance by Eugene Levy himself. Annis
said film making has been a long-time hobby of his, and that computers have come a
long way with the effects they are able to
accomplish.
“I’ve been making stupid movies since I
was in Grade 7,” he said. “It’s a hobby, and
it’s fun.”
Following the movie and a round of applause from the audience, Annis said he was

“I think this will be one of the best pre- held on Saturday night. The event was a fundraiser for the Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation.
mieres I’ve ever attended for one of my
films,” Annis said. “In fact, I think it’s the
only one.”

Harvest for Hunger
helps feed the world
Continued from page 4
While we know many of the combine operators won’t have time to read this during
this busy harvest season, it is our hope and
prayer that they will all have a safe and
successful harvest. Please be careful —
we need you all. In the end it is farmers,
here and everywhere, that feed the world!
Again, our sincere thanks to all who took
part in the Harvest For Hunger. When
we think of the 160 acres, the 120 combines, the 11 minutes and 43 seconds it

took to harvest the crop (a world record
for soybeans!), the hundreds of very good
people who volunteered and the more
than $250,000 donated to the Canadian
Foodgrains Bank to feed the world’s hungry, we can only say it was a very good
day. Thanks be to God!
