Concert raises funds for church elevator

Support the La Conner United Methodist Church’s campaign to install an elevator-lift by attending their benefit concert and silent auction this Saturday, Nov. 4.

Susan Pierson, the concert’s director and member of the Shelter Bay Chorus, emphasizes “the sixteen members of the Chorus are representing the full Chorus, and have volunteered their support to fund the elevator-lift in the church where the Shelter Bay Chorus often holds their practices. The same community spirit and generosity, as well as musical excellence, has been offered by the USO Trio, members of the Cantabile Chamber Choir and United Methodists, as they sing a variety of love songs during the benefit concert.”

The elevator will benefit town neighbors and persons in community organizations that use the 100-year old church throughout the week as well as the mostly senior church members. Many are on their way to 90 years old.

Admission is free. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for previewing auction items. The concert starts at 6:30 p.m. The La Conner United Methodist Church is at 601 South 2nd and Benton.
