People the world over, including all of us in our four Hill and Lake neighborhoods, have been shocked and appalled at the carnage wreaked on the people and the land of the sovereign nation of Ukraine by the armies of Vladimir Putin and disheartened by the difficulty in getting trustworthy information and helping the people of Ukraine in their hour of need.
On Sunday, March 27, the Isles Ensemble in partnership with Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church and the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis is presenting a fundraiser to provide us with trustworthy information, reflect through music on the human cost of this calamity, and offer us a means to help address the enormous need for humanitarian aid.
The fundraiser starts at 2:00pm in the Woman’s Club auditorium. Enter the auditorium directly on 15th
Street, across from Loring Park, or via the Woman’s Club main entrance at 410 Oak Grove St. The Woman’s Club has a large parking lot on Oak Grove, and valet parking will be available at the main entrance. St. Mark’s Cathedral welcomes fundraiser attendees to use their parking lot between noon and 4 pm.
The event is free and open to the public. Donations are encouraged, and 100% of contributions will be designated for Ukraine relief efforts through Eastern Europe Crisis Response or Lutheran Disaster Response. Checks, made out to either of these organizations, are preferred. For more information visit www.islesensemble.org.
