Spirit of Rasputin's

What goes on behind the curtain

by Bob Gernon

In this final instalment of the series, we need to take time to thank our brave leaders, our vision casters and flag bearers, the members of Spirit of Rasputin’s Board of Directors. 

Their job it is to meet, discuss and debate plans and ideas that guide Rasputin’s current and future operations. They look at the calendar and decide on dates for the next concerts. They choose performers for the monthly Spotlight stage and for the larger stage of our Featured Artists concert series. They choose producers from their ranks to manage each concert and coordinate with Rasputin’s communications volunteers to promote the organization’s activities. The Board manages the finances, pay the bills and look after all the administrative work that’s necessary in an organization like this. In short, they line up the ducks needed to get all the jobs done.

Their work is invaluable to the smooth and efficient running of Spirit of Rasputin’s and so we say a great big sincere Thank You to:

Susan Sweeney Hermon, President and Acting Secretary
Anne Hurley, Vice President
Bob Martens, Treasurer
Mark Evenchick, Operations and Stage Management
Sjef Frenken, Planning and Development
Andy Bounsall, Webmaster
Heather Evenchick, Ticketing and Front of House
Alan Sandeman, Open Stage
Kate Whitley, Member-at-Large
Peter Rutherford, Member-at-Large

We are most fortunate to have this marvellous group of talented, good natured and dedicated people who work so well together in a spirit of camaraderie. You folks are the best.
