“AN EVENING OF WINE &
SONG”
The Children’s Aid Foundation of Nova Scotia (CAFNS) is presenting their 6th annual” Evening of Wine & Song” at the Cathedral Church of All Saints on Thursday May 23rd ,2024 at 7:00pm. The evening will feature renowned singer and song writer Owen ‘O Sound’ Lee, who recently performed at the Juno Awards. Wines for the evening will be selected from Bishop’s Cellar and will be presented by our guest sommelier Dr. Atima Kamra. Certainly Cinnamon catering will join us again this year with new innovative foods specially designed to compliment the wine. The silent auction is always a huge draw and has something unique to offer for everyone!
The event is shaping up to be a great night of wine (beer too), song, food, and community spirit. The hope is to raise much needed funds to provide essential programs and services for our vulnerable children and youth that they desperately need to thrive!
Looking forward to seeing you on May 23rd at our “Evening of Wine &Song”!!
