Alum looking for volunteers
Kevin Storrie is looking for volunteers to help him form a new non-profit organization -- the Music for Humanity Society. The goal of the society would be to work with the entertainment industry to raise funds for Nanaimo's homeless community and create bursaries for Vancouver Island University students.
Interested? Contact Dave Forrester, Manager of Alumni Relations at dave.forrester@viu.ca or 250-740-6214 for more information.
