Celebrate Shuswap Society is dedicated to bringing quality, live entertainment to the Shuswap. Initially, the focus will be to present dance parties featuring some of the best bands in the province.
The Society is managed by a volunteer board with nine directors, three who serve for 3 years, three who serve for 2 years and three that serve for 1 year, so that new directors can be added every year.
The current directors for the 2023/24 board are:
Howard DeLong, Jim Cooperman, Joanne Vivian, Rod Schumacher, Phaedra Idzan, Cory Bagg, Lyndon Menard, Mona Broad and June Vanderhoek
To help get the Society up and running, Patrons have donated $100 each to help cover the costs of this website and to cover the costs associated with hosting the first dance party.
