Masquerade Ball to Support Young Immigrants in Lethbridge
LETHBRIDGE: The Urban Spirits Rotary Club in Lethbridge is stepping up to support young immigrants coming to our community.
They have chosen the Lethbridge Family Services Immigrant Services Youth Empowerment Program as the recipient of their annual fundraising event.
Event Chair and Rotary member Sharon Rempel goes over what you can expect at the ‘Light Up the Night Masquerade Ball’, “We encourage the big party atmosphere, it’s not really a very formal dinner. Our theme is Korean themed, so we have LA Chefs working with us to create a really unique Korean menu. At the event we have some amazing performers, we have fortune tellers and tarot card readers, we have professional breakdancers coming.”
Money raised through the event will help the Youth Empowerment Program reach more children in the community, as they’re currently limited by their funding. They help children adjust to life here, by working with them on their english, teaching them about Canadian customs and holidays, and showing them how to deal with things like winter in southern Alberta.
