A memorial tribute is planned for Saturday at the Equator Roastery on Ottawa Street in Almonte.
Percussionist with the Almonte Song Circle, David Frisch, says the event remembers a generous supporter.
Justin Francis had given the Song Circle the best home it had ever enjoyed.
Francis expired in June of 2023, and the Almonte Song Circle has since moved on to a new venue within Carebridge’s Stan Mills Centre- but have not forgotten their friendships with Justin.
David Frisch says come anytime Saturday during the five hour event (6PM to 11PM).
He says you have the option of getting tickets in advance, or at the door- or just by making a donation.
Those unfamiliar with the Almonte Song Circle will see its members perform at the Memorial tribute.
David says you’ll find an article about how Justin Francis touched the lives of his group, and others in the community, in the current issue of the Humm.
