KRRG hosts dignitary
Ahead: Hot Dog! And Dance!
Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group (KRRG) welcomed its Sponsorship Holder Agreement coordinator, Rev. Elizabeth Huether on April 14.
She praised KRRG’s committee work and shared insights gleaned from the other 11 Constituent Groups she serves across the Anglican Diocese of Kootenay. Before heading home to Castlegar, she declared, “You’re doing great work, keep it up!”
Some of what energized Rev. Huether includes:
April 23 – KRRG volunteers host a hot dog barbecue in the Overwaitea Foods parking lot, Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. All proceeds go toward making Kimberley “a good place to be welcoming.”
April 30 – Dance your way into May! Saturday night, starting at 8 p.m. and going until 1 a.m. May 1, enjoy music from Kimberley’s own blues band, The Hollers.
With tunes from the Memphis blues to today’s musical soundscape, it’s the place to be: Saturday, 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., at Kimberley’s Centennial Hall (100 – 4th Avenue). Tickets ($20) available at Snowdrift Café, Kootenay Mountain Works or at the door until sold out.
Sales of wine, beer and snacks will also benefit KRRG. Special thanks to The Hollers, the City of Kimberley and Kimberley Chamber of Commerce.
Also April 30 – final day Regal Catalogue orders will benefit KRRG. Contact Louise Hockley at 250-427-3726.
