Benefit Concert at Marymount Adult Centre to support Cats Committee

By -
Welcome to the EMSB Administration Building Bugle. This will be the new place for announcements to be made to the building. Whether it is a book or clothing sale, news of upcoming nuptials or special anniversary, please send us your news. We are anxious to hear from you.

The Côte Saint-Luc Cats Committee (CSLCC) will hold a fundraising concert on Tuesday, August 25 (7:30 p.m.) at the former Wagar High School (5785 Parkhaven).  Featured performers will be the Musicians of the World Symphony Orchestra (http://www.musiciansoftheworld.ca), conducted by Joseph Milo and  Montreal-born singer, dancer and actress Nicole Raviv. She now lives in New York, where she has performed in a number of Off Broadway productions.
These two kittens were rescued by the committee and adopted.

Funds raised from  A Bouquet of Classics and Other Fun Music  will go towards the CSLCC’s Trap, Neuter, Release and Adopt Program and Educhat (www.educhat.ca), the volunteer organization headed by Shelley Schecter.There are many feral cats in the community. The CSLCC’s team of volunteers sets out to trap as many as possible, have them sterilized and then adopted or returned to the spot where they were originally found.

The CSLCC will   honour  the city`s treasurer Ruth Kleinman, Finance Administrative secretary Elizabeth Ruhry  and accounting agent Maria Picciuto  for the support they have given the committee.  In addition, they have set a wonderful example for others to follow by feeding a homeless cat outside the library on a daily basis.

EMSB Communications and Marketing Specialist and CSL Councillor Mike Cohen, responsible for Animal Protection in the city, notes that the concert will be an opportunity for people who love animals to enjoy an evening of fine music while contributing to a good cause. 

The Musicians of the World Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) is composed of 55 musicians: about 80 percent of its members are from 15 countries around the world, while the remaining 20 percent are natives of Montreal who successfully facilitated the integration of the newcomers.

Tickets are only $10 each (tax included) and can be purchased by contacting Mike at extension 7243 or at mcohen@emsb.qc.ca.
