Burger Express is at it again! This coming Wednesday, February 19th, they will host the Curtain Call Drama Club from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Burger Express has been incredibly generous in offering 100% of sales for that two-hour block in support of local organizations. The Moyie Shrine Club will be the recipient of all of the funds earned at this fundraiser.
According to shrinersinternational.org, “Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. With nearly 200 local chapters and thousands of clubs on six continents, Shriners are knowns for their fellowship, brotherhood, compassion and generosity.”
The Shriners are known for making pediatric surgery, lodging and travel expenses free to families and the local chapter has taken the Curtain Call Drama Club under their wing to help make a difference.
The Moyie Shrine Club is based out of Lewiston, Idaho but has a local club, right here in Bonners Ferry. The funds raised on Monday night, will go to support the local chapter to and will go directly to their children’s hospitals.
Four years ago, the Curtain Call Drama Club was founded. It is a youth lead theater group that puts on theater productions for the community. The club hosts and volunteers at fundraisers to raise money for the Moyie Shrine Club and in return for the club raising monetary donations, the Moyie Shrine Club funds their productions.
“We value our community and like to give back the best we can.” President Hallie Galbraith says of the Curtain Call Drama Club. “We have participated in the back-to-school bash with our carnival booth and have also helped out in the past with a toy drive at the Second Chance thrift store as they often donate props and costume pieces. At the fair last year, we sold huckleberry lemonade from local huckleberries, handpicked by members of our group. When there are no productions to be rehearsing, we do game nights and other activities to keep the group together. It’s really like a family, and all of our members are hardworking and are dedicated to each other and our community.”
The Curtain Call Drama club was officially founded by club president, Hallie Galbraith, secretary, June Marshall and event coordinator, Talya Galbraith.
All three members have been in theater since lower elementary school and have worked in nearly every aspect if theater in some capacity.
Come out on Monday night and support the Curtain Club Drama Club at Burger Express as they serve meals to the community in support of the Moyie Shrine Club.
