Dear Member of the C&E Branch; We have been fortunate to have Mr. John Robertson name our Museum as the beneficiary for his Charity Concert at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, 390 King St W, Kingston on 27 October 2018. The attached letter provides the details of the concert but please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions. Also, please encourage your friends, colleagues and family to support this very worthy cause and to come out and enjoy a very pleasant evening of excellent music in a fantastic theatre with incredible acoustics. This is a very important fundraiser to help support the long-term sustainability of our Museum? If you cannot make it personally, you could still make a donation or buy a couple of tickets and make them available to us for a deserving junior member of our Branch. Thanks in advance!
