“6 Bands for 4 Bucks” – A Community Gathering and Fundraiser in Honour of Melanie Archibald.

Saturday, January 25, Guelph Farmers’ Market, $4 (additional donations strongly encouaged!)

Doors: 6:30pm, Music starts 7:00pm sharp.

Please join us to gather and honour Melanie’s memory for a night of some of her favourite things. Mel once joked that she wanted “6 Bands for 4 Bucks” at her funeral, so we are honouring that wish. In addition to delicious nibbles, dancing, community vibes, and a silent auction, we will enjoy music from (yes it’s more than 6 bands but we couldnt’ say no to some of Mel’s faves and pals!):

Jim Guthrie
The Magic
Scott Nightengale
Noah 23
Nathan Lawr
Jessy Bell Smith
Aaron Riswick
Stuart Gunn

All funds raised will go to support Sanguen Health Centre, a crucial program in Guelph and Waterloo which aims to raise awareness of harm reduction, combat stigma, and minimize the impact that marginalization has on vulnerable communities.

For the Silent Auction, we are looking for donations of goods and services to help make this fundraiser a success. Melanie was passionate about community care and advocacy, and all donations will be made in her name. We would love to include whatever you can offer! Contact Nathan Lawr (nathan.lawr@gmail.com) or Claire Coulter (clairecoulter@gmail.com) to donate.

Lastly, we are hoping to add a few friends to our crew who share in Mel’s love of good food to assist in preparing and setting up a spread. Contact Nate or Claire if you are able to help out.

Please note this will be a DRY evening. A selection on non-alcoholic beverages will be available, but please don’t drink before or during attendance.
