Fundraiser for Belize Family

Well-known Canadian actor Derek McGrath will present an evening of musical entertainment at the Bethany United Church on December 1st at 7 pm.  The event features Derek and his friends Steve Lynch, Mary and Martha Colton and Vickie and Roland of Strawberry Moon fame who will perform from 7 pm to 9 pm.  During a brief intermission, there will be an auction of two donations; a beautiful cathedral quilt and an artwork by local artist Randy Knott.

The audience will recognize Derek from his many roles on television, in movies and on the stage. He now lives on a farm in our community and recently gave acting classes at Bethany United Church.

The beneficiary of the fund raiser is the Diaz family of Belize. Eduardo Diaz, the breadwinner of the family of six, suffered a catastrophic electrical accident in 2015, when he lost both his hands and both feet. He is still able to smile at life. Instead of working as an electrician, Eduardo sells popcorn on the streets of Dangriga, Belize.

The $20 tickets may be reserved for the evening by calling Andy or Maureen at 705-277-1825 or Bev at 705-768-2747, Steve at 705-932-2097. KG
