Circle Around the Centre is back

Confederat­ion Centre of the Arts luncheon series returns with board chairman Wayne Hambly

-

The Circle Around the Centre Luncheon Series is back at the Confederat­ion Centre of the Arts in Charlottet­own.

First in the series will be current chairman of the board of directors of Confederat­ion Centre of the Arts, Wayne Hambly who will speak on his past 25 years as chairman and his thoughts and hopes about moving into the future.

The 2018 Circle Around the Centre series will run from January through to June.

Catherine Hennessey was the driving force behind the anniversar­y 2014 series, and she has some new ideas for this year. Circle Around the Centre includes a monthly luncheon of sandwich and salad or soup as well as a talk by some of the Island’s movers and shakers.

An active force in the Island community, Hambly is a recipient of both the Order of P.E.I. and the Order of Canada. He is an honorary life member of the Greater Charlottet­own Area Chamber of Commerce, an inductee to the P.E.I. Business Hall of Fame, and he has received countless other awards and accolades in recognitio­n of his lifelong hard work and dedication to his community.

A portion of each ticket purchased to these events will be donated to the Circle Around the Centre Fund of the Confederat­ion Centre of the Arts Foundation.

This fund was created by Hennessey to commemorat­e and celebrate notable individual­s and special occasions that have a significan­t importance or connection to the centre and its history.
