Shift...2007!
Ron Davis Visit to Vancouver
Ron Davis received a standing ovation from 380+ people at the Frederic Wood Theatre on Saturday November 3. Thanks to the hard work of the Board and the SHIFT Committee, and numerous individuals, who generously gave their time to make the first Annual Fundraiser a resounding success! His talk was followed by a high energy reception which included wine and hors d’oeuvres, outstanding flamenco music and dance, and both silent and live auctions!! There was much talk of being included in next year’s event!
Previously, Peter Tongue (www.PeterTongue.com) interviewed Ron on BlogRadio (click here to listen to interview). Sid Tafler (Net BC Publishing Ltd) ensured media coverage in West Coast Families, the North Shore News, the Outlook, the Courier, the Vancouver Sun, the Fanny Kiefer Show, The Standard on OMNI TV and live broadcast with Christy Clark on the Bill Good Show.
