Rapsey / Klein Benefit a Great Success!
It was standing room only at the Lower Granville Hall in Port Royal last Saturday night for Paul Rapsey and Stephen Klein's Benefit Performances. Ticket sales combined with the bake sale and 50/50 draw brought in over $1,900! Danny Ritchie of Karsdale donated back his 50/50 winnings. Thanks Danny!

Paul's new monologue "What's in a Name"  was heartwarming, humorous, and genuine. The acting natural yet transporting. The ending a big surprise, nostalgic and life-affirming. Stephen's fiddling gave the crowd a great toe-tapping, hand-clapping time. Hat's off to both performers for the donation of their time and talents to raise money for the lighthouse.

Many thanks are also due to our community for help to bring this event to life:
  • Bakers who donated baked goods for sale: Joan Sutherland, Kathy Kayo, Ana & Lucy Hill, Sherrie Lopranowski, Cathy Malon, Elaine Bergen, Mary Ritchie, and Allan Holtz.
  • Michael Rouse, Randy Swigart and Andrew and Mo Welch for removing LOTS of snow and ice off of the Hall parking lot.
  • Everyone who ran the house: Violet, Rose, and Becky Benoit staffed the bake sale table, and Barbara Swift took tickets and handed out programmes. Mary Ritchie sold drinks, and Allan Holtz directed cars in the parking lot.
  • The Lighthouse Association board for all of the behind-the-scenes effort in planning, setting up for, and cleaning up after the event.
  • Bainton's in Annapolis Royal for selling tickets
  • The Lower Granville Hall for donating use of the space.
A great community effort, and a memorable fundraiser!
