provides refuge for women in the
area in need of emergency
housing.
Centering the concert on love
songs encompasses an expansive
range of styles from lullabies to
classical, said Deborah Bailey, the
Chorus' director, who explains that
the event will include "a little bit of
everything."
"We make a great sound - 60
singers, four part harmonies,
sometimes more. We love what we
do and that comes through," she
said in an interview. "We get to
indulge our love of making music
and it's for a good cause."
The concert at Northside starts at
7:30 p.m. and will be followed a
dessert reception.
According to Bailey, the Chorus
absorbs all costs incurred in pro-
moting the events, such as pur-
chasing flyers, allowing all money
donated at the concerts to go
directly to the shelter.
Since the beginning of the concert
series five to six years ago, the Cho-
rus has managed to raise "well over
$15,000" for the shelter, she said.
The Goderich-based facility, Bai-
ley adds, provides a tremendously
valuable service for local women
and children by offering an emer-
gency housing solution, as well as
around the clock pick-up service.
"They provide counselling,
emergency shelter and longer-term
housing for women and children in
need," she said of the shelter. "They
have a 24-hour crisis line, they will
pick someone up in the middle of
the night if need be."
The funding provides a much-
needed financial injection for the
shelter, which Bailey said often
grapples with a deluge of people
accessing its services.
It's "not uncommon" for it to be
"beyond capacity with women and
children in dire need," she
explained, adding that those using
the facility see it as a last resort.
"If women had any other place to
go, they would go," Bailey said. "It's
their last resort and thank good-
ness they have someplace to go."
Another concert by the group in
support of the shelter will be held
at Knox Presbyterian Church in
Goderich on June 17. It will also
begin at 7:30 p.m.
As well, the Goderich concert is a
freewill offering event.
