The Kiwanis Club of Pembroke has come up in a big way to support Festival Hall, the Centre for the Performing Arts. As part of Kiwanis’s 100th anniversary this year, the organization has donated $53,000 to the Festival Hall Seat Campaign. President of the club, Robert Lauder says it’s all about investing in the future.
Following the announcement, Director Rick Warton noted that the lobby will now be known as the Kiwanis Lounge and President of the club, Robert Lauder says that was a huge honor.
According to President of the club, Robert Lauder the work will start soon.
City of Pembroke Mayor Mike LeMay added, “the amount of work that is being done by Kiwanis over the last 100 years, we are fortunate to have a club that is so active. I, as mayor really appreciate it, and I know our residents really do. Thank you to Kiwanis for everything you continue to do for our community and other communities.” With this donation, Festival Hall will be a more accessible, modern, and enjoyable venue for generations to come.
