One of the season’s most prestigious tickets, the Canadian RedCross’s 13th Annual Fundraising Event,The Red Cross, “A Light in Darkness,” was proudly presented this year at Arensal under the distinguished honourary presidency of event founder / Canadian Red Cross volunteer and author of Missions, Michèle Dionne, wowing the 600 plus movers and groovers on scene, with spirited cocktails, a masterful dinner by Dansereau Traiteur, as well as musical entertainment by the ever-mesmeric Paul Chacra and company. The perfect eve also raised a remarkable – and record-breaking – 1.7 million dollars for the life-saving organization. Bravo!
