THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT
GALA FUNDRAISER One of the largest fundraisers ever planned for Abbotsford will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3. It will feature an “out of the world” REMPEL guest speaker — Col. Chris Hadfield, former Canadian astronaut and commander of the International Space Station. Hadfield has become an international celebrity as a result of his stint in space, and is a highly-sought speaker. He‘ll speak at the first annual gala, subtitled “The Sky is Not the Limit,” in support of Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley. The event will take place in the spacious Abbotsford Centre on King Road. Organizers are hoping to sell 800 tickets, says Habitat for Humanity UFV CEO Doug Rempel. Doors for the event open at 5:30 p.m., and dinner, a live and silent auction featuring more than $56,000 worth of art, and dance to the music of Topaz at this formal event. Dining music will be provided byCalvin Dyck and his 4-string quartet. Tickets are $150 each or $1,000 for a table of eight. For tickets, call 604-557-1020 or go to www.habitatgala.com. Habitat for Humanity UFV raises operating funds through its ReStore in Abbotsford, and sponsors an annual triathalon. An event of this magnitude is
a first for the organization. Gala co-chairs Helen Dick and Jennel Youssef have been busy for months dealing with a myriad of details. Rempel said the directors had talked about a large-scale event to raise enough to finance construction of a new home. He spoke with other chapters of Habitat for Humanity about what they had done. Meanwhile, Dick had been inspired by Hadfield’s book An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything. When Rempel found that the Niagara chapter had held a very successful fundraiser with Hadfield as guest speaker, it all came together.
SPACE ROCK STAR COMES TO ABBOTSFORD Astronaut, rock star, public speaker and author are amongst the titles this man carries. Not to mention Colonel, Commander, husband, father and the man who has rocked a mustache since 1995. While orbiting the Earth from space, he developed a huge fol-
lowing of social media followers. They eagerly awaited his latest posts and photos from space. He also attracted huge attention by performing the 1969 David Bowie song Space Oddity, just as his time in space was coming to an end. Bowie himself posted on Facebook that it was ‘possibly
The UFV chapter is in its second incarnation. It operated from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s and was formed anew in 2000. Since 2001, it has brought eight projects to completion. These include new homes, as well as renovations. In 2013, the organization built a home on Farmer Road, in partnership with the Fonseca family, who were selected for the residence from among several applicants. Families selected for a Habitat home assume an interest-free loan and never pay more than 30 per cent of their total family income for their housing. They must also provide more than 500 “sweat equity” hours in building the home.

the most poignant version of the song ever created’. He served as commander of the International Space Station for 5 months in 2013, and was the Źrst Canadian to walk in space. He is also a down-to-earth guy. After his time in space, he wrote 2 books; “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything” and “You Are Here, Around the World in 92 minutes.” On October 3, he will share his practical insights at the Habitat for Humanity gala, and will also be speaking to Fraser Valley middle school students earlier that day at the Abbotsford Centre. He told organizers that he wanted the opportunity to speak to students when coming to Abbotsford, in addition to his evening speech. Habitat for Humanity gala organizers are anticipating that he will have an afternoon audience of about 3,000 middle school students, who will be able to hear him by donation, raising money to support the organization. They will also have the chance to win a variety of prizes, including
iPads, mountain bikes and a helicopter ride. He has told audiences about his Źrst day in space in 1995, and how he climbed awkwardly into the spacecraft, which is sitting on its tail and was strapped into cramped space above what is essentially a giant missile. The “wild, wild ride” lasted for eight minutes and 42 seconds. Then the engines shut off, and he was weightless. “It’s a really cool feeling,” HadŹeld says. “I recommend it.” He strongly believes in the principles of people working together to take care of each other – principles that guide Habitat for Humanity. “Earth is a space station and we are not passengers — we’re crew.” For the past 13 years, humans have been able to live continually in space because of co-operation between nations and their combined goal of exploring the universe, said HadŹeld. The same can apply to nations on Earth. Habitat for
Humanity, with 70 afŹliates in 10 provinces and two territories,has been successful in placing more than 1,000 families into new homes in Canada. Its long-term goal is to eliminate substandard and poverty housing. To purchase tickets, go to www.habitatgala.com.
