Mark your calendars for two upcoming dates that will help to raise funds in support of the Comox Valley Child Development Association.

The first is a pre-telethon fundraiser on Oct. 3 when local duo Coast To Coast will be providing a night of entertainment at the Mex Pub by donation. The second event is the 42nd annual telethon to be held at the Sid Williams Theatre on Nov. 5, where Coast to Coast will be officially presenting the concert proceeds.

Admission to the 1st Tuesday Fundraiser is by donation, and the money raised will go directly to the CVCDA which provides individual service plans that are unique to each child accessing their services.

Representatives from the CVCDA will be attending the concert to provide tax receipts for qualifying donations as well as information about their programs.

Coast to Coast is a local duo comprised of swing guitarist/songwriter Scott Lyle and local songstress Lainie Laughlin. As featured guests of the 1st Tuesday Fundraisers concert series, they will be performing a full set of music at the Mex that鈥檚 sure to bring a smile and get your toes tapping. The pair are fine songwriters, and will be playing a mix of original songs as well as their favourite cover tunes.

鈥淚t鈥檚 always a treat to spend an evening enjoying their music and friendly banter,鈥� says organizer Judy Wing.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. so bring a friend to the Mex Pub on Oct. 3 and help build the telethon donation to support the Comox Valley Child Development Association. For more information visit http://facebook.com/1stTuesdayFundraisers.
