   On March 24, 2012, the band was invited to perform at the Kildonan Community Church Ceilidh. The Ceilidh was a celebration to

commemorate the arrival of the Selkirk Settlers two hundred years ago.

 

   On behalf of the band, I want to wish all of you and your families a Happy Easter.

 

Thanks again to everyone for supporting our 50/50 draws on Friday night.
