A Very Entertaining Evening

Baba and Gido’s 50^th Anniversary

This was the third consecutive year that the House of Hesed Dinner Theatre Production Company has produced an evening of hilarity and appetizing cuisine. David Turnbull directed an adaptation of a play called Baba and Gido’s 50^th Wedding Anniversary written by Liz Reynolds. For three nights in St. Charles church hall, the thirteen member cast worked hard to provide lively entertainment for the sold-out audiences – and they succeeded.

Everyone involved in the dinner theatre is a volunteer and over that last three years, the dinner theatre company has raised over $70,000 for the House of Hesed.

It is the only facility in Manitoba offering a home to men and women living with AIDS. The House of Hesed opened it doors 14 years ago. To date it has been home to approximately 70 men and women ranging in age from 19-65. In most cases an individual moves into Hesed because they have nowhere else to go. Some need to come because they require further convalescence and care after a lengthy hospital stay. Others who are dealing with mental or physical health issues may need ongoing support to ensure they are attending their doctor appointments, taking their medication and eating healthy foods.

House of Hesed continues to rely on the generous donations from churches, foundations and individuals to cover most of its operating expenses.
