Holiday Pops - The Hutton Family and NSO

A Hutton Family ChristmasThe Hutton name is synonymous with music, starting with Sir Charles W. Hutton KSG OBE (knighted by King and Pope for his musical contribution to Newfoundland, 1861–1949) through to his great great-grandchildren. The 4th generation: Christopher, Andrew, Ron, Ronalda, Dan, and Robin have all participated in numerous stage productions, radio, television and The Kiwanis Music Festival. Christopher and Andrew, as members of the Sanderlings singing group, performed on Tommy Hunter Shows, at Detroit's Cobo Hall, Parliament Hill, and the opening of PEI's Confederation Centre. Ronalda and Robin and their husbands have chosen careers in music. Ronalda has won several awards in Canada and the US and, not unlike her great-grandfather, she and Peter have made a huge musical contribution to the province - producing over thirty Peter MacDonald Productions. Their daughter Miranda MacDonald (5th generation) is following in their footsteps in Toronto. Robin and Stephen have performed across North America in productions like Mamma Mia! in Toronto (Robin) and Les Misérables on Broadway (Stephen). They have worked many seasons with the Stratford Festival and are now joined there with 5th generation Keely Hutton (Canadian Idol and Triple Sensation finalist). The Hutton family has been inducted into the Kiwanis Music Hall of Honour.

Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal

To mark the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada in 1952, a commemorative medal was created. A selection of deserving Canadians who have made a "significant contribution or achievement to Canada," have been recognized by receiving a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
 

This year on March 1, 2013 our own Dr. Valerie Long was a recipient of this medal.
 

 

 

We are so proud of you Valerie!

A Christmas for Giving

A Christmas for Giving

Sharing the joy of Christmas by giving to those affected by Hurricane Sandy

In Newfoundland over the next few weeks, many will be making preparations for Christmas celebrations with family, friends, and co-workers. Those in our homes and neighbourhoods will be blessed by generosity and love. No one will be unaffected by the presence of joy and sharing in the local community.

In Long Island, Statten Island, Brooklyn and Queen’s over the next few weeks, individuals and communities will be continuing their struggle to return to normalcy following the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Many are still without adequate access to electricity, clean water, and shelter. For them Christmas may be a time of scarcity and hopelessness. Families face grief, loss of home and community.

This Christmas, consider sharing your joy to neighbours in the New York Region.

The Parish of the Ascension and community partners are offering a Gala for those in Newfoundland to share Christmas with our neighbours to the south.

The Parish has linked with Churches in the New York Region, and will be sending funds so that families and neighbourhoods in New York can receive care, support, and the gift of Christmas.

The Gala includes a three-course dinner, silent auction, live auction, and performances by various local artists.

All proceeds raised will be given to those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Dinner will be prepared by a team of prominent local chefs including,

Roary MacPherson, Mike Barsky, Andrea Maunder, Michelle Leblanc, Shaun Hussey, Brian Piercey, Angie Ryan, Jillian Lake, Thomas Canning and Hans Uebel.

A Christmas for Giving will take place Tuesday, December 11, 2012, at the CLB Armoury, St. John’s. Doors open at 6:00 pm and dinner will be served at 7:00 pm.

For more information contact David at 368-5693 or email aChristmasforgiving@gmail.com

Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased at the following locations:
Parish of the Ascension, Mount Pearl
House to Home, Mount Pearl.
