Eastend community gathers to support fundraising concert

The Ranchmen, a local band, volunteered to perform at the event for no charge, only hoping to support their community. 

"The Hall is run by volunteers and needs funds to pay for the bills, keep the doors open, redo floors, and stuff like that," Nathan Zelnis, Eastend Hall Board member explained.

"As an organization, our goal is always to bring the community together," said the executive director at The Center. Nathan Wiebe.

Proceeds will go to fund The Swift Current community youth initiative and provide free counselling for youth and troubled or underprivileged family support.
