<p>Les billets sont toujours le même prix, soit 20$ l&#8217;unité ou 30$ la paire. Cependant, comme nous baignons dans l&#8217;atmosphère de partage et de générosité du <strong><span style="color: #009900">Temps des Fêtes </span></strong>,<strong> TOUT </strong>les profits seront recueillis afin de permettre à quelques familles en période creuse de passer  un Noël magique et inoubliable.</p>

Hey everyone,</p>
<p>We are very excited to invite you to the next Reunion concert, on <strong>Saturday December 8th at 8pm</strong>. It is taking place at the <strong>St-Denis Church</strong> located at <strong>454 Laurier Avenue East</strong> (Laurier Metro at the corner of St-Denis). We will be performing the most beautiful songs in our repertoire, accompanied by a female choir (All are very attractive, for those that might be interested).</p>
<p>Tickets are the same price as always: $20 each or $30 for a pair.  However, since we are bathing in the warm glow and goodwill of the <strong style="color: #009900">Festive Season</strong>, ALL profits will be passed on to a few families going through a difficult period to permit them to enjoy a magical and unforgettable Christmas.</p>
