Putting It All Together

Organization of the A Touch of Class Community Performance Series is an ongoing process, and the ideas and wishes of the Bonnyville audience are of great help in putting together the roster of performers who appear at the Lyle Victor Albert Centre. Without your support, we cannot continue. Your feedback on and reviews of performances are greatly appreciated. Ideas and suggestions in regard to possible performers are encouraged.

Season tickets will be available as usual and every effort will be made to contact our wonderful regular subscribers and supporters. All assigned seating, and seasons tickets represent an approximate saving of 30% to 40% over regular single ticket purchases.

What The Bonnyville & District Fine Arts Society Is All About

The Bonnyville & District Fine Arts Society is a registered corporate entity under the Alberta Societies Act. Its mandate is to encourage the production and presentation of the arts in our community.

The community volunteers of the Society operate the Lyle Victor Albert Centre as a performance, display, and practice space for community artists. The Lyle Victor Albert Centre is leased on a long-term basis through a very generous arrangement with Northern Lights School District No. 69.

Fundraising activities to support the Centre include regular Home Made Jam and Rock Jam performances (contact Pat Perry for details) and bingos as part of the Bonnyville Bingo Association.

Individuals interested in becoming involved in supporting the Society's activities are encouraged to join in. Please feel welcome to take part in the on-going, success story of bringing the arts to Bonnyville & District through our community’s beloved Lyle Victor Albert Centre.

A Touch of Class Performance Series, which arranges the Community Performance Series with the support of Alberta Community Development and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, is a committee of the Fine Arts Society.

Volunteer Activities in the Near Future

Workers are needed for Bingos on:

· Friday, August 14, 2009

Please contact Ian or Pat Perry (826-3986) or any of the Fine Arts board members if you are available to assist as a volunteer Bingo Worker.
