Edmonton Suzuki Flute and Recorder Society Haiti Fundraiser

March 8, 2010 / ASJ 38.2 / Topics: Flute, Recorder
The Edmonton Suzuki Flute and Recorder Society used their annual Winter Recital in January 2010 as a fundraiser for earthquake relief in Haiti.
They raised $226.50 with a silver collection at the door, but with the matching grant for donations from the Canadian government, that means $453 will be going to the Red Cross.
