". . .a poor lone woman, unregarded age, in corners thrown."
As professional workers in the performing arts we face many uncertainties of employment and day-to-day security. Where will it all end? How will we care for ourselves in old age?
"Give me a staff of honour for my age."
We take care of our own.
Performing Arts Lodges Of Canada, a volunteer-driven organization, is dedicated to creating shelter for our senior members. P.A.L. has built amazing successes, rent controlled housing in Toronto and Vancouver, built in a spirit. . .
". . .which should accompany old age, as honour, love, troops of friends."
The time has come to create our own P.A.L. in Edmonton. In all levels of government interest and support is at its highest. Can we - all of us, every actor, musician, technician, writer, administrator, stage hand, dancer, driver, director, broadcaster, choreographer in television, movies, theatre, radio, education - all of us, can we make the dream of a refuge across the years for our aging company a reality.
A P.A.L. home could be for you. If not, then for a friend.
Please join us Monday, November 19 to learn what P.A.L. is and what it means to you, to us.
