The enthusiastic crowd enjoyed a long list of old favorites, presented with humour and style by this award-winning Elvis tribute artist. During intermission, the crowd mingled around the refreshments, bought raffle tickets, entered the door prize draw and sampled artisan cheeses by Terroir Cheese.

This fundraising event was a great success for The Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre (CISRC).

Organizers are grateful to the many area businesses who showed their support by providing the venue, raffle prizes and the door prize.

And a big thumbs-up needs to go to the CISRC volunteers who worked so hard to make this happen.

Since opening in September 2013, the Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre has been providing information and services to seniors in Blind Bay and nearby South Shuswap communities.

The centre, whose goal is to promote age-friendly community services, offers foot care, massage therapy, frozen meals, income tax preparation, computer tutoring, and a resource list of volunteers and businesses to help seniors stay independent in their own homes. The centre is receiving a growing volume of inquiries, and this fundraiser will help continue meeting the need.
