Representatives of the Seycove community hosted a fundraising dinner, auction and concert at the North Vancouver secondary school Jan. 20. More than 250 guests were in attendance, bidding on auction items, such as guitars autographed by Elvis Costello, Colin James and members of 54-40. Live music performed by Barney Bentall was an event highlight. Funds raised from the evening will support a group of more than 40 Seycove students planning to travel to the Dominican Republic in July to perform humanitarian work, including assisting local residents with building a new school in the town of Sosua.
