Some People who Helped out with the event

Everybody who came out to Avant-Garde to either to play or listen helped tremendously and helped fulfill the purpose and goal set. This Fundraiser wouldn't happen without all those who came. We needed people to play and we needed people to listen. But there were some people who stood out because of their taking their time, efforts, stepping out of the box to help me with this event.

Here are the special people who helped me make this event succesful.

Robert Reynolds








Robert is a songwriter, performer, actor and a great entertainer. He provided us with most of the equipment and sound work. Without Robert this event would not have gone as it did. He helped me run the event smoothly, ran the sound board, and found time to perform some originals as well as cover songs. He plays the harmonica, guitar and who knows what he does not play! Awsome work Robert. Your deed will be remembered.

Robert Carol



Robert is a Canadian songwriter who not only shared his songs and talent with the Fundraiser, but also brought us a drum set to keep pace to everyone's songs. He plays the guitar, the drums, harmonica and sings his own songs.

David Reynolds



David helped us out with the sound. He co-ran the sound board and kept the night event sounding good. Great job!!! David plays hockey and also is a budding musician--a bass player in his band at school.













Andrei Filippov








Andrei helped me with getting equipment for the event, setting up the stage and organizing the event. Andrei made sure to entertain everyone with some Russian songs at the Fundraiser.











Aymen


Aymen sat the whole evening at the door, explaining to the visitors what the event was about. He collected the money for this great event.






Big thanks goes out to Avant-Garde and Alex, the owner of the bar for providing us with a facility to hold this great event. Without a home there is no living. Thank you again.
