I booked the event on a whim and it exceeded expectations! It was a lovely venue with a warm welcome from the organizers. I confess I have never eaten poutine so that was fun and filling. The auctioneer was fascinating to watch and added great drama to the night. And the music! It was so lovely- an innovative mix of lively traditional and sweet beauty. I’m so glad I was able to be there.  – Valerie McDonald

That was one of the best fundraisers we’ve been to in Stratford since we got here. Congratulations! – Rick Matthews

What a great evening with SSM.  We saw so many people we haven’t crossed trails with recently – social success.  Food and drink was abundant and tasty – sustenance success.   Loved the Fretless – commonality of music success. Thanks to everyone for the considerable effort of staging a wonderful event for such a worthwhile cause. – Laurel McIntosh 

An entirely enjoyable evening and great that the wine raised a significant contribution. Congratulations on a successful event – specially reflected in so many new — and younger — faces. – Ray Harsant
