In the paper

The Island Independent is a new Southern Gulf Island paper.
How new?
It just published its eighth issue.
On page 5 of that issue is an article entitled: Mayne animal benefit
The article is about the Valentine's evening fundraiser and I'm the author.
Would you like to read it?
Well, here it is...

Nestled in the heart of Mayne Island is "Rest _ Q Animal Sanctuary."
The sanctuary provides a home for 130 animals. The animals that were once abandoned, neglected and abused now oink, purr, quack, snort and bark happily in their forever home.
Providing such sadly necessary care is expensive.
From where does this funding come?
Well, as their web site, www.restqsanctuary.org, says, "Rest Q is a registered charity entirely funded by private donations."'
Nan Johnston and Bob Connolly of the singing group "Nan and Bob" wanted to help and where inspired to act. They have enlisted the aide of a few friends and are planning a fund raiser. The evening of Saturday, February 14th will be full of Broadway music, poetry, and delicious desserts. All involved have donated their time. All proceeds will be donated to "Rest - Q Animal Sanctuary." Tickets are $15 and they are going fast. The Ag Hall doors open at 7:30 pm. We invite you to come, enjoy, eat and put a little love in your heart.
"Rest - Q Animal Sanctuary" director, Ty Binfet will be available to answer your questions and receive your donations during the event.
