Plea for Assistance - CBC Actors at CBC building May 23
Hi Folks!
I know this is short notice but I just found out about this today. Would anyone perchance be planning on going to this tomorrow (Saturday May 23) at the CBC building?
There is a wack of great Canadian actors going to be present, especially the Little Mosque on the Prairie cast. I am one of the coordinators for the Polaris 23 Charity Auction (www.tcon.ca) and our team would love to have some autographs on anything! If you find yourself going or would be happy to help us out that would be great! I unfortunately have to work and cannot make it out there. I'm willing to pay your parking!!
Details below!
Thanks,
Monique
