Thanks to everyone involved in making our spring fundraiser, Jigs & Reels, a success.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised almost $4,000 to support arts and heritage programming in the community.

A HUGE merci to Marie Stephenson for bringing the Mad Rivière touch to the evening. Thanks also to her crew: Lana Bryant, Karen Crevier, Joan Gordon, Kim Shadlock, Sandy Trott and the kitchen team. Thanks to Fred and Lana who managed to raise $400 from the crowd in support of our Artists in the School program. To those who set tables, tended bar and helped with the cleanup, we can’t thank you enough.

Thank you to our wonderful members, their family and friends.

And finally, we thank the band for their jigs and reels.

Until next year,

The Purple Hills Arts & Heritage Society Board
