aerials in edmonton!

We followed up our successful and spytastic Calgary fundraiser with a Dessert Night & Silent Auction in Edmonton, at River West Christian Church, on October 29. I was a little nervous: we have fewer MBs in Edmonton and fewer campers, too. How many people would show up? Well. I was totally blown away by the support of all the great, friendly people who came out and amount of money we raised!

$7540!

It was lots of fun to see campers from the summer with their families, staff members from years gone by and all sorts of other great friends!

We had a lot of help in Edmonton, which meant we ended up with a really fun program.

Michalene and Kim put their amazing aerial talents to use. Michalene did a beautiful trapeze act. Ben, infamous for many reasons including being the most fanatical climber Camp Evergreen has had on staff ever, was ridiculously impressed by how strong Michalene was. Kim did her Spidergirl routine on the rope: it's a little bit interpretive, a little bit funny and a lot entertaining. You can see more of their amazing feats through Firefly Theatre, an Edmonton-based aerial arts theatre.





Trenton, Trina and Rachel each shared a story from their experiences here in the summer as either campers or staff (or both): thank you all! Clare Peters jumped in at the very, very last second to take care of sound for us: hugest of thank yous, Clare!

Chanda Cooper played five songs for us to close the evening and she was fantastic. She also came through last minute -- and we found out that she went to school with Ken (Food Services Manager of Awesome) and Jon (Head Wrangler of Greatness) at Peace River Bible Institute! So cool. Check out Chanda's myspace page. She's really great!



We also need to send out a special thanks to all the kind folks who donated to our Silent Auction:
Aimee Bontje
Andrew & Lisa Baerg
Barry & Breana Langendoen
Culina Highland
