Dawn Lacey News

On Sunday, May 14th, 2006 (Mother's Day) I had my DVD launch. About 40 people from Yellowknife attended the celebration, which was held in the Baker Centre. People viewed the DVD. Later, they mingled, looking at several manual displays highlighting the process behind the making of my DVD. Here's some photos of the celebration.

Signing autographs

John and Pamela Murray, long-time supporters of Yellowknife musicians and artists, came along and got me to autograph the DVD.
