“Reach for the Stars”

Artists, of any age, are in a group who will reach for the stars as they work in their chosen discipline; be it with color, design or texture, with music or dance. These are some gifted ones we cherish.

They strive to express themselves in a way that illuminates their view of the world. Artists reveal what has meaning for them, where beauty resides and what is unique. Sometimes they will challenge the viewer to decipher their point of view. There are times they will invoke despair or utter joy, provide insights or inspiration.

Throughout their lives as artists they discipline themselves to become more adept in portraying their art and do their best along the way to overcome obstacles, so they can reach for the stars.

Dear Potential Sponsor,

The Atlin Arts and Music Festival Society is planning a Family Fun Fair this summer in Atlin. We are seeking sponsorship to make this event a reality. The Fair will be an important stepping stone towards realizing AAMF 2025.

Held the weekend of July 5th to 7th, 2024, at the Tarahne Park and other venues around town, the Family Fun Fair will be open to all, with a focus on families and children’s entertainment. It will feature performers like the Taku River Tlingit dancers, headliner Norman Foote, and Claire Ness (including her circus group). Musical performers will liven up the airways and buskers will be playing throughout town. There will be interactive entertainment with bouncy castles, sumo wrestling suits, human soccer balls and a variety of kids workshops.

Any amount of donation will help significantly. We are specifically seeking sponsorship to cover the operational costs of $10,000. You can donate in full, partially or an in-kind amount. Amounts of $250 or more will be reciprocated with sponsorship benefits (see table). The deadline for sponsorship donations is June 15th, 2024.

To confirm sponsorship or for further information, please contact Theresa Beaudoin by email at aamfboardofdirectors@gmail.com or by phone at 867-336-1964. Please email your logo for use on our website, programs, posters, and print Ads. You will receive a receipt for your charitable donation for tax purposes.

You can send your donation via e-transfer to vendors@atlinfest,ca

Or you can send a cheque to Atlin Arts and Music Festival: Box 168, Atlin, BC, V0W 1A0.

Thank you for bringing the Family Fun Fair to Atlin this year.

With sincerest gratitude, Thank you! Gunalchéesh!

Respect

We show respect

By listening well

And seeking to understand

We show respect

By loving all

And fearing some

We show respect

By feeling feelings

And letting some go

We show respect

By caring for others And letting them be

We show respect

By creating beauty

And using our gifts

We show respect

By watching in awe

The blessings of God.

The Respectful Hunt

Howdowehuntwithrespect?

We hunt with humility. We hunt with honour. We hunt with grace.

We hunt in necessity. We hunt when hungry. We hunt when we must.

We hunt in peace. We hunt when clean. We hunt when pure.

We hunt in health. We hunt in strength. We hunt in balance.

We hunt with prayer. We hunt with hope. We hunt with joy.

We hunt in awe.

We hunt with praise. We hunt in reverence to God.

The next Whisper is Wednesday June 19th

Submissions are due no later than Sunday 6pm June 16th

The Purpose of the Atlin Whisper is to encourage, buildup and inform the people of Atlin concerning ongoing community events and happenings. The Whisper is not a political mouthpiece. Compiled and edited by Lynne Phipps. Paper for printing courtesy of Northern Homes Real Estate Printing courtesy of Dani McNeil and the RCMP Atlin Delivery by Bobbie Whelan and Gary Hill. Classifieds, news, upcoming events Contact 1-867-3347949 or lynnephippsatlin@gmail.com if you have, pictures or articles you would like to submit. Please note that submissions should be sent in either WORD or JPEG whenever possible. PDF must first be printed and then scanned back into the computer in order to format it into the paper. This costs in both paper and ink. We know that at times a PDF is the only way, which is okay when necessary, but otherwise, as the Whisper is a FREE community service we appreciate your support in helping to keep the costs down as much as possible. Thank You!

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart…for great is your love toward me.
