EDMONDS — Holy Rosary Church in Edmonds has volunteered its sanctuary for a concert at 7 p.m. Friday, June 9, to benefit the city of Edmonds’ Hurricane Katrina relief fund.
The Mosaic Singers, a choir made up of musicians from 23 area churches, will join other local talent in the fundraiser for a retired couple in Edmonds’ “adopted” city of Bay St. Louis, Miss., whose house was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina last fall.
Volunteering their emcee services for the evening are Mark Coleman, KCPQ Channel 13 television meteorologist, and April Zepeda, a reporter for KOMO Channel 4 television.
Among the special guests will be George and Rayceille McCullum, for whom the benefit is being conducted. Edmonds Mayor Gary Haakenson and his wife, Dolly, are paying for the McCullums’ flight; Harbor Inn is donating their two-night stay, according to Linda Carl, executive assistant to the mayor. As of May 8, $11,200 had been donated to the city’s hurricane-relief fund. Recent contributions include $3,000 from Westgate Chapel, $1,852 from the Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary Club and $500 from Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church.
