Need a break from Bowen politics? Look no further than the Climbing High for Child Haven fundraiser to be held at the Gallery at Artisan Square on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. The night will kick off with some rousing traditional Irish tunes from Ita Kane-Wilson and Cameron Wilson, followed by a brief presentation by Child Haven volunteer Katherine Doyle on the children's home in Kathmandu and a slideshow of my Island Peak, Himalayas summit (20,300ft).There's a raffle for one of Russell Hackney Ceramics gorgeous tea pots, a door prize and many silent auction items from various women's co-operatives in Nepal and a few Bowen establishments. Get your Christmas shopping started early. Wine, tea and cookies will be also served. It promises to be a fun night in aid of a great cause: Child Haven (www.childhaven.ca) a Canadian registered charity. Every $1 spent at the fundraiser will go 100 per cent to the children's home in Kathmandu. Tickets are $10 and are for sale at Phoenix. Hope to see you there!
