@lisa-yl @Kamara I agree completely with Lisa on Ronald McDonald House vs local charities. They are a big charity with many donors. After we made a donation to Ronald McDonald House, they sent BCB begging letters just like the ones many of us probably receive from many charities, - i.e., "personalized" advertising mail, aka form letters. They probably had no idea we had a fund raising concert, we could have sent them a cheque in the mail and they would have treated BCB the same way.
I prefer local charities with reps who can speak about their cause at the concert. Many of the charities Kamara lists would do that.

Thanks Kamara.
Below is a his obituary. It all happened very quickly and we are all still in a state of shock.

@KChirametli thanks for posting.

@executive
I just want to make one reply as I'd like to discuss at the next meeting if there is time:
One comment was that band members don't need to use our forum often - however, if we put more content on the forum, it could be a nice way for members to connect - I wouldn't be opposed to having a Classified section/ allowing band members to advertise their services. As we don't ask profession on the intake, it may actually come in handy when we need services.

I think the collaboration ideas between DVO and BCB are a great idea.
