The 13th annual Jazz and Blues in the Village fundraiser for the Sarnia Organ Donor's Awareness Group is set for Sept. 16 and 17 at Sarnia's McGibbon Park.

The lineup of performers expected inside the heated tent in the park next to the Lochiel Kiwanis Centre includes The Michael Schatte Band, Paul James, The Bettys, Robb Sharp and Lit'l Chicago, Yasgurs Farm and the Johnny Max Band.

Committee member Connie Ellis credits a “great organization, terrific volunteers and top-notch entertainment” for the fundraiser's longevity.

“I think we have an interesting and exciting group coming in on Saturday afternoon,” Ellis said.

The Bettys are a Toronto-based female trio, backed by a four-piece band.

“They are sort of like the modern-day Andrews Sisters,” she said.

“They do all the oldies, and they dress in costume and they look like they're just a whole lot of fun.”

They will be followed by local favourite, Lit'l Chicago.

Schatte, originally from Chatham, is an up and coming guitar player, Ellis said.
James is an award-winning Toronto-based musician. Yasgurs Farm is a 12-piece band with a six-piece horn section from Toronto that plays soul, funk, jazz and rock.

Shirley has over 30 years of experience in such diverse businesses as financial planning, manufacturing, and supply. Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
