We had our benefit social Saturday night March 28, 2009 at the MusiPlex on Cityview Avenue. A special thanks to all the MusiPlex staff and what a great place to have a party.
The funds raised will go toward the purchase of two single rider golf carts and to install Sure Grip hand controls on four regular golf carts.
Paul Campbell, Rick Hutchins and friends played earlier in the evening and sounded awesome.
Casey LeBlanc & Razberry Skye started playing around 9:30PM and they were incredible. Everyone danced up a storm.
We had both a silent auction and a live auction because we had so many great donated items.
Below is a list of volunteers and musicians who volunteered their time at the event in addition to a list of sponsors who donated auction items or purchased a large number of tickets.
We could not have had the event without all the volunteers and a special thanks to the great musicians who volunteered their time as well.
The volunteers spent their Saturday night helping raise funds to purchase equipment so people with disabilities will be able to enjoy one of our favourite summer sports.
Thank you all and your efforts are very very much appreciated.
