Alex Sutherland
who passed away on December 3rd. Alex had performed at our Burns Supper since 2000, and he & Carrie were more than just the "featured entertainment" -- they were part of our family. Please join us as we remember our good friend Alex, who brought Scotland to us with music, dance and story.
