SUMMARY:Barbershop Concert
DESCRIPTION:Neil Aitchison Takes Over the Pulpit! \nOn Saturday\, May 6\, at 7:00 pm\, Neil Aitchison\, a Canadian Loonie\, will take over the pulpit at Islington United Church as he introduces the Toronto Northern Lights chorus\, Maple Reserve\, and three other super quartets. \nA career in broadcasting has taught our speaker that laughter is not only fun\, but necessary for surviving and thriving in today’s changing times. Neil Aitchison is a popular speaker\, MC\, actor\, former broadcast executive and radio personality. He will share a few laughs\, some honest reflections on life and clearly demonstrate how you can cope with life’s constant changes and stresses by exercising your humour option. \nNo\, he will not be delivering a sermon like his younger brother has done so many times! But\, as our MC for the evening\, his humour will leave you wanting more! After attending an event where Neil was the MC\, many people comment: “He is worth the price of admission!” \nBe advised that we expect this concert to be a “sold out” event so get your tickets early at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/25-years-of-tnl-tickets-579546377817
