I know pride is a sin but today, I'm feeling darn proud to be a Gabriolan. Over the weekend, in a matter of 36 hours or so, our community came together and organized a benefit concert for Haiti. And despite the short time frame, it's no slip-shod affair. The acts are lined up, there's already a poster, the tickets are printed and on sale, the hall is booked, the sound team is good to go, donations for a silent auction are overflowing my neighbour's living room
and a
website was even launched so that online donations may be made. And the Canadian government will match whatever we raise so that's a bonus.
In the face of unthinkable tragedy, it's good to see some light.

Bravo Gab. You know how to do it. Lordy you folks know how to turn out an "affair" on a moment's notice. Bonne chance!
And might I had a big Bravo to the Canadian government as well. You know what I'm thinking. I won't say it.

Very often these last minute arrangements turn out to be the best.
