MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN ROTARY TEAMS WITH OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS Kathy Holmes, President, Ladysmith Arts Council Eight Not-for-Profit groups have teamed up to help make that Magic Happen. The 5 Cowichan Valley Rotary Clubs, The Ladysmith Camera Club, Cowichan Valley Camera Club and the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery have created a powerhouse team to raise funds for Cowichan Hospice and the Rotary Gardens through a Charity Art Auction The Magic happens Saturday February 29th from 6 to 8:30pm at 444 Parkhill Terrace in Ladysmith. Original photography and art will be auctioned off in a live and silent action plus there are 50 amazing $20 art bargains. All profits go to Cowichan Hospice Rotary Gardens, with a goal of $10,000 that evening. “The Ladysmith Rotary Club is a big supporter of the Hospice House and the Gardens. None of us are getting younger and from a purely selfish perspective we can all appreciate the need,” said Rotarian Gerry Beltgens. “For me personally, it also has a lot to do with my own personal experience. My father passed away in a hospital in a basement room with no windows. Our family was with him but the setting was awful. We were lucky that they agreed to clear out some space for us but it was essentially a storage area. There were no hospice rooms available. Having a Hospice House and beautiful Gardens will make life and death much better for all Cowichan Valley residents.” Tickets can be purchased for $35.00 from any Rotarian in the Cowichan Valley, the Hospice Society, Camera Club members, Salamander books, the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery and online at Eventbrite, Artists for Hospice.
