WE CAN DO IT WITH YOUR HELP! $5000 FOR RELAY FOR LIFE MESSENGERS OF HOPE TEAM

Now I know this sounds like I am working against my own team here, but I have partnered up with the Messengers of Hope Relay for Life team to help them raise money through a series of concerts with Frank Spinney. The first show was Sunday at the Kentville Legion and no one knew if we were gonna have 2 people or 2000, we just wanted to give it a try. We ended up with about 100 people, and with a good 50/50 it was a good night. I can't give you the total, I had to cut out early, but I am sure we did almost $1000. Not bad for one night of fund raising! All the proceeds, 100% is going into the Relay for Life. Everything was donated from the musicians to the hall to the gear, me, everything was free. If you didn't make this one, the next one is December 12 at the Middleton Legion at 7.

Here's the canteen ladies from the legion, the lady in the back is Kentville's Volunteer of the year "Millie", Amanda Misner's grandmother.

Collecting money at the door and enjoyin' the show.

All the artists had CD's for sale at $20 each, $5 was a donation to the Relay 4 Life.

Frank Spinney was giving it all he had on this one.

The Mayor of Kentville Dave Corkum at the canteen. His Movember Mo' is looking pretty good! He gets a big kudos from me on this one. Dave is not someone who takes anything lightly, and he jumped into this one full throttle. You can help out Dave and the rest of the Misfits at http://www.avrnetwork.com/ and follow the Movember links.

Jammin' it out here!

This is going to be another great week on the AVR Morning Show.
