It was a perfect day! The sun finally shone down on us and the stage was literally set for a great afternoon. We were not deterred by the cancellation of the fundraiser on Saturday and the faithful supporters came out Monday to support a worthy cause. Jammin' for Sudan raised just over $500 for the Art & Music Program for the Children in Aweill Southern Sudan ; a project administered by CASS with the support and expertise of Denise Pelley and Lucy Ogletree.
The Jammin' in the Cabin Gang and friends performed a lively set of their country/folk/bluegrass tunes and then the crowd was entertained by the sweet melodies of Don Durkee on Saxophone and Tom Starks on the electric organ. All was just a prelude to the stunning vocals of Jazz performer Denise Pelley who wowed the audience with her amazing voice! Denise was accompanied on stage by Tom Starks and Don Durkee who joined them for a special rendition of Route 66.
The afternoon included complimentary fruit,cheese,crackers and beverages and a fabulous amount of donations to a fundraising raffle. Congratulations to all who went home with a beautiful gift!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make the day a success and for anyone who missed Denise you can see her again at Pinecroft Saturday June 26th 1-5 pm. Tickets are available by calling 519-773-3435 and are $20.00
