FUSION News December 10, 2008

Hey FUSION,
Tis the season for some updates with what FUSION Halifax is up to.  Take a look!
 
HOLIDAY MIXER TOMORROW - note the slight time change
Join us tomorrow at Neptune Theatre (Lower Lobby) from 5:00-7:00pm (we're starting and ending a little earlier) for our FUSION Holiday Mixer! There'll be plenty of good tidings, cheer and tasty treats (thanks to Saucy Scion Catering!) as we celebrate the holiday season together.  Thanks to Neptune, we'll also have a draw for free tickets. 
Please remember two things - First, bring a non-perishable food item for FEED NS.  They need our help this time of year more than ever.  Second, if you're interested in purchasing a ticket to Neptune's production of Plaid Tidings at the FUSION discounted rate, ACT FAST!  Just call 429-7070 or visit www.neptunetheatre.com and enter promotion code 2008FUSION.
 
Sincere thanks to Saucy Scion catering and Neptune Theatre for partnering with us on this event.  Check them out online!
