On September 11, 2001, a blind man escaped the World Trade Center by walking down 78 flights of stairs with his guide dog. Days later, America fell in love with Mike and Roselle and the special bond that helped them both survive one of the country’s darkest days. Since 9/11, Mike Hingson speaks to audiences about his experience on that day as well as to discuss his thoughts on life and dealing with change. He has become a recognized internationally acclaimed public speaker who captivates audiences with his personal and compelling story.  He also teaches his listeners new ways of looking at life and their worlds by helping them to visualize from his viewpoint how to live, function and thrive.

Now you too can be inspired by this 9/11 survivor on Thursday April 4 7:00 p.m. Tickets are only $12.50 and are available online at www.venablestheatre.ca

In support of a nationwide initiative, the Double O Quilters (and friends) of Oliver, BC have recently completed 6 Quilts of Valor. Guild members are pictured here with 5 of the quilts.

These quilts will be delivered to representatives of Veteran’s Affairs in Penticton and then given to veterans in the South Okanagan who are ill or injured as a result of their service to Canada. A worthy endeavour indeed !
