Successful Fundraiser

Well the Howie Family fundraiser was a complete success. I have to say the group of people that put this on were very organized, and put on the most successful fundraiser we have ever seen or been a part of. It was a sold out show, the amount of items donated for the auction were incredible. We are still waiting to hear numbers but their guestimate at the end of the night was around $35,000.00. We are truly happy about that as the family this money was raised for is incredibly loved by our community.
Next gig we are playing is at Merville Hall on May 5th. And after that, the next public gig will be in Pt. Hardy at the Relay for Life on June 16th. Hope to see alot of you there!
We got an email from Pete Montana the other day, he was the morning show host on Jetfm with Roo Phelps, who we also keep in touch with. Pete is now starting a sister station to the Jet in Grand Prairie, AB. He announced to us that he added "Walk Away" right away to their rotation which makes us very happy. That's it, Peace Out!
RIP Natalia Hutchins :(

Last and next gig!

We had an awesome gig last Saturday night in Courtenay! It was a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society's Kick off to the Relay for Life. Campbell River band Thirst opened for us and we finally got to meet them face to face. Shaw cable was there interviewing Richard and Jamie and should be up and running soon. It was Richard's wife's birthday and as they have a new little baby, she could not make it. Sorry Jeannie! We will be playing in Pt. Hardy for the Relay for Life on June 16th from 8-11pm. I am not sure exactly where yet but I do know it will be outdoors. Our next gig is next Saturday (April 14th) in Campbell River. A fundraiser for a family who's young boy, (11) in Campbell River has been diagnosed with Leukemia.

His name is Joe Howie and his blog address is www.joehowie.ca. They are a very well respected and loved family in Campbell River. It will be a sell out if it isn't already. Tickets are $15 or 2 for $25 available at Island Fever. More information is on our website at www.mrcompletely.ca on the schedule. Sounds like it will be a rocker! Hope to see some of you there!

Well, a couple of gigs coming up. April 7th we will be playing in Courtenay at the upper hall in the Legion. It is a fundraiser for the Kick Off for the Relay for Life for the Canadian Cancer Society. April 14th we will be playing in Campbell River at the new Quinsam Wellness Center Hall. It is located behind the new gas station just off the Inland Island Hwy and Willis Rd. This is a huge event - a dance and auction, silent and live.
