HAVE A HEART FOR THE HOMELESS - March 12, 2005
Pat Nisbet writes;
Have a Heart for the Homelessis a fundraiser, awareness concert we are holding at St. Patricks Church at Main and 12th Ave. on Saturday, March 12th at 7:00 pm. This concert is interdenominational and is being held to help raise funds and awareness on the plight of the poor and homeless in our city.
This is the second year we will be holding this concert. Last years concert was held at Shaughnessy Heights United Church and the following churches were involved and will be again. (First United, First Baptist, Holy Rosary, Guardian Angels, 10th Ave. Alliance, Central Presbyterian, Kitsilano Christian Community, Fairview Baptist Church, Trinity Baptist, West Point Grey Baptist, Granville Chapel, St. James Anglican, St. Helens Anglican, South Fraser Vineyard, St. Johns United, Congregation of Beth Israel, Unitarian Church, Shaughnessy Heights United)
We managed to raise $800.00 for each of 8 different charities that are working with the homeless - namely St. James Society, First United, Catholic Charities Mens Hostel, Sisters of Atonement, Door is Open, Central Presbyterian's Breakfast programme, First Baptist's and Grandview Calvary Baptists Shelter Programmes. We also will be adding 10th Ave. Alliance's Shelter Programme which just started this year. The concert will be family oriented and will only go for one and a half hours with no intermission. After the concert we will hold a reception in the hall (with donations from bakeries etc.) and a small silent auction of local artists. The admission will be kept low $12.00 for pre-buying and $15.00 at the door.
