Joining as special guests for the evening are Vancouver-based photographer: Tallulah Tallulah and fellow journalist, Roberta Staley who travelled together on assignment to Haiti just last year, and ultimately covered the collapse of a primary school while working in the poverty stricken country.
A very special, moving collection of hand-printed photographs will be on display during the evening and both women will share their experiences with guests. They will be joined by a representative of Rose Charities Canada who will speak about the organizations current efforts, and what will be their second relief dispatch of volunteers to Haiti.
This event will include:
• Complimentary drink upon arrival
• Photo gallery and presentation
• Gourmet canapés served throughout the evening
• Silent auction items and door prizes
• Special pricing for select bar items
The majority of the $45 ticket cost is set to go to Rose Charities Canada. In addition, 100% of proceeds from the events silent auction will directly benefit the organization. Tickets can be purchased by contacting r.tl directly: 604.638.1550.
