More than 100 people descended on the ebar May 31 to help launch the Focus on Nature program.
Guests enjoyed music by Boom Echo, a silent auction, appetizers, a student slideshow, and presentations by Guelph Arts Council executive director Anne MacKay, Sadie Currie (a former Focus on Nature participant and volunteer), and Trina Koster and Shirley Hunt, the co-founders of Focus on Nature.
The silent auction earned over $3,000 to support the Focus educational programs.
The money will help to broaden the reach of a school program and support outreach, volunteer training, teacher resources and education, and other projects. So, Focus on Nature staff and volunteers will be able to deliver photography instruction and hands-on nature experiences to hundreds of students in Guelph and surrounding communities.
