Our friends, Rochelle Kives and Ruslan Rusin have just recently welcomed their mother/mother-in-law, Elena Pecherskaya, to Winnipeg. She has fled her homeland in Ukraine and is currently staying in a hotel funded by the Canadian government. This support is about to run out. We are throwing them a good old fashioned Manitoba fundraising social to help them as it is a huge financial burden to support Elena (especially for two self-employed artists!). They have agreed to this provided that we split any proceeds with another Ukrainian refugee family that Elena has befriended at the hotel: The Kok family is a six-person family with 2 younger children here in Winnipeg, and 2 older children still in Ukraine, one of whom is fighting in the war. Come out and enjoy music and entertainment by Rainbow Sound & Lite, a silent auction, a 50/50 draw, a midnight lunch and a guaranteed good time!
