PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Exciting Times! We have just returned from the Abbotsford Tulip Festival site, and are still filled with wonder over the absolute beauty of fields of colour and the sheer number of people who made the trek out to the Festival. The incredible weather made this year’s Festival extraordinary. Where else in the Lower Mainland does Highway #1 come to a grinding halt due to such an incredible sight? Summer is just around the corner in the Fraser Valley!

Look for Cory & Bronwen at all kinds of events in the community - stop by and say hi!

The What’s On! Abbotsford staff is very excited with the announcement last month that the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association signed a lease for the Centennial Library Building. Rejuvenating this wonderful landmark with plans to house the ADBA and the Abbotsford Arts Council’s Gallery and Boutique will be an excellent addition to the Downtown area. They will make every effort to maintain the integrity of the historic value of the building, and ensure it remains the heart of the community. We are also so excited that What’s On! Abbotsford is becoming the go-to publication for Abbotsford residents when they are looking to see what is happening in their community. By mid-April, we found ourselves with very few magazines left as the Spring issue was flying off the shelves. We have been lucky to find a large number of businesses, organizations and companies to stock the magazines.

Members of the What’s On! / Cory Cassel Productions Team enjoyed a night out at the Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards. L-R Jane Marshall, What’s On!

We are always on the lookout for events that happen in Abbotsford, so if you or your organization has an event, please email us at whatsonabbotsford@gmail.com. And, of course we are happy to discuss promotional ideas, and sponsorships so do not hesitate to call Cory or Cora!! Cheers,

Lighthouse Theatre presents p

Seussical Jr

“Oh, the thinks you can think!�, the Cat in the Hat exclaims full of hope and wonder, to the young Whoville boy, JoJo, during the opening musical number of Seussical JR. It is with a parallel intensity that we as parents desire the best opportunities for our children, ones that will contribute to both their character and wellbeing, equipping them with a skill set to bring bright hope for their future. For the families of 41 local students enrolled in Lighthouse Theatre, Heritage Christian Online School’s (HCOS) musical theatre program, there is an irrefutable belief this goal is being achieved. Located in the Fraser Valley, Lighthouse Theatre is a dynamic group of Distributed Learning or homeschool students, ranging from Grades 2-12. They are an impressive group committed to a high standard of excellence from the acting, singing, and choreography to the costumes and spectacular set design. The essential goal of Lighthouse Theatre is to develop their students' God given gifts to achieve excellence in the performing arts, to His glory. Talented, they are. HCOS strives to provide quality educational choices with Christian values, which is evident with the innovative educational experiences they offer their student body. Lighthouse Theatre’s amazing Broadway style musical production stands tall among them.

Our desire is to use our passion for the arts to inspire another generation of young actors and actresses to JURZ LQ WKHLU DFWLQJ VNLOOV GHYHORS D UREXVW FRQÀGHQFH and a genuine love of the stage. Watching our students perform, bringing a show to life, is truly breathtaking." Sarah Goerzen and Nicole Farion, Artistic Directors. 7KH VSULQJ RI PDUNHG WKHLU ÀUVW SURGXFWLRQ $QQLH JR, which was well received. Then in 2015, both the cast size and audience grew with Disney’s My Son Pinocchio JR, necessitating Lighthouse Theatre to locate to a larger venue for May 2016, for their production of Seussical JR. They are proud to now call the Clarke Theatre their home. You can still purchase tickets for the following shows: May 19-21 @ 7pm and Sat @ 2pm. It’s an event you won't want to miss. With Seussical JR's central message heralding, "a person's a person no matter how small", we encourage you to bring your family and friends, one and all. You are guaranteed to be wowed and have a ball, as the talent you will see in our community is tall. On behalf of Thing One and Thing Two, we bid you adieu - but before we do - here is more info for you:

theatre.onlineschool.ca

Spring 2013, Lighthouse Theatre was given life when HCOS came along side of two, young, talented women, actually sisters whom were once homeschoolers themselves, Sarah Goerzen and Nicole Farion. Raised in Mission, the girls were encouraged to pursue developing their gifts from a young age - Sarah excelled in dance, so she trained in all the major disciplines and now runs her own studio in Maple Ridge. Nicole Farion, blessed with a sweet voice which only few possess, honed her craft and is working to achieve the Grade 10 Royal Conservatory of Voice, and now teaches private voice lessons from her home in Mission. All the while, both girls followed their passion for musical theatre, performing for 11 years with a theatre company in Maple Ridge. When Allana Lemke, support teacher with HCOS and now Executive Producer with Lighthouse Theatre, attended a showing of Through the Looking Glass, witnessing Nicole’s undeniable talents in her lead role of the Red Queen and Sarah’s unique skills choreographing the ballet sequences, she immediately understood why the Farions wanted to discuss the possibility of offering a musical theatre learning opportunity through HCOS for students in the Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Langley area. Over tea and coffee, Allana, Nicole, Sarah, and Arlene, their mother who’s equipped with a producing skill set, hammered out the details and Lighthouse Theatre was born. "The love of theatre was sparked in us at a young age and we are thrilled to be the Directors of Lighthouse Theatre.

“For 25 years I couldn’t eat raspberries because all of us kids and my mom spent most of the summer months picking raspberries. I would see the other kids going off to have fun in the summer but all we had to look forward to was work. We’d go work for a neighbour picking strawberries, then pick raspberries and then it was time to go back to school. Hank graduated from Chilliwack High School and then received a Bachelor of Commerce degree at UBC where he graduated in 1973 and then stared working for KPMG in Vancouver, earning his CA degree in 1975.

Hank Kroeker’s Abbotsford Legacy Story September 1, 2015 As the undersigned, I promise to contribute to the future of the community of Abbotsford through a bequest to the Abbotsford Community Foundation. Hank was the first person in his family to be born in Canada. Three older siblings, John, Aggie and Kay and his parents John and Elizabeth had been born in the Ukraine. Following Hank’s birth there were two more sisters added to the family – Betty and Elsie.

“KPMG bought an office in Abbotsford in the early 1970s and three of us came out from Vancouver to help run it. I retired from KPMG in 2007 after 34 years in accounting,” he said. Hank’s wife Pam worked for the Bank of Montreal in Abbotsford before taking on the responsibilities of a full time mom. Hank and Pam have three grown children including their son Jonathan who just graduated from medical school in New York and is starting his career as a resident in the University of Alabama Hospital. His daughter Andrea is married with two young children and lives in Abbotsford. His other daughter Brittany, started off studying sciences at the University of Victoria, but switched to an accounting program at UBC, articled with KPMG in Vancouver, and joined KPMG’s Abbotsford office in 2013. She and her husband Ian have a baby girl.

“The family’s first home in Canada was in Northern Alberta, in the small town of La Glace just outside of Grande Prairie,” said Hank. They arrived in June, 1948 and I was born in October in the neighbouring town of Hythe.
