Tir-na-nOg will soon celebrate its 25th anniversary and on May 1, we invite the community to an evening of musical performance with dinner at the Vancouver Rowing Club in Stanley Park. Tir-na-nOg is partnering with Synergy, a group with the mandate to gather musical and culinary talent to host a benefit dinner and show.

For the last 25 years, Bowen youth have had the opportunity to learn some very special things about themselves. They have gained skills of presentation, participation and leadership. They have thought about what it means to walk around in another person's shoes. They have learned how to make a point so others listen and how to make people laugh. They had a fabulous time doing it. Tir-na-nOg is still going strong but no school, academic or otherwise, manages without the support of their community. The fundraiser is going to be a treat. The musical entertainment will include Juno award winner, Shari Ulrich as well as acoustic guitarists Don Adler and David Sinclair. The doors open at 6 p.m., a buffet dinner runs from 6:30 to 7:30, followed by the show. A Cormorant Marine water taxi will head out from the cove at 5:30 and leave the rowing club at 10:15.

The suggested donation is $100 which is tax deductible. Please contact the Tir-na-nOg office at 947-9507 or Karen Cowper at 947-2403.
