$10 All proceeds go to the trust fund for the families
As you know, this past Monday tragedy struck and took the lives of ten Peruvian workers from our community and another gentleman from London Ontario. This event is taking place in hopes that we will be able to raise money to offer relief to the families that have been left behind.
The doors will open at 5p.m., there will be live entertainment, DJ Wilson and DJ Jimmy (CJIQ 88.3FM), food, beverages, door prizes and draws. There will be a cover charge at the door of $10 and the proceeds of this event will go to the trust fund for the families.
