Alumni Association and Student Union Hosting Fundraiser Dinner for Student Bursaries, February 15
The UPEI Alumni Association and the UPEI Student Union are once again partnering on their annual winter fundraising dinner for student bursaries. The 2007 Winter Banquet will be held on Thursday, February 15 in McMillan Hall of the W.A. Murphy Student Centre and the evening will be highlighted by the energetic improv group, 4 Skit's Sake, comprised of current UPEI students Derek Bondt and Colin MacDonald, former UPEI student now studying at Concordia, Fraser McCallum, and graduate Adam Gauthier.
"We are delighted to have 4 Skit's Sake performing at our annual fundraising dinner for student awards," says UPEI alumni association president Phil MacDougall. "This annual event has raised money for more than 20 bursaries for students and we are looking forward to increasing that this year."
"4 Skit's Sake won the Atlantic University Improv Challenge in 2004 and 2006 and they have had three successful summer seasons at The Guild. Their evening of skits, games and sketches is something the audience is sure to find hilarious," says UPEI student union president Ryan Gallant. "And we will once again be providing a complimentary valet service which is something everyone likes especially on a cold February night," adds Gallant.
The reception starts at 6pm with the dinner at 7pm. The Nick Howard trio will be providing music and noted Island-storyteller and UPEI Registrar Alan Buchanan will be Master of Ceremonies
Tickets are $100.00 each or a table of eight for $750.00 and a charitable tax receipt will be provided. For more information please contact Alf Blanchard, UPEI Alumni Officer at alumni@upei.ca or (902) 566-0761.
