“Singing for Kingcome Inlet” Concert raises $1,355.00!

A Special Thank You to the Bishop’s Gospel Choir from the Dzawada'enuxw First Nation of Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia:

On behalf of our Tribe please accept our heartfelt and sincere gratitude for your kindness in organizing a most successful and enchanting “Singing for Kingcome Inlet” Flood Relief Fund Raiser, October 15.  It was such a treat for Farron and I to be present and witness the love and care from all of the Donors, not to mention the wonderful music.
Thanks for the invitation and experience...
