Photograph of MESS band performing on stage at the Aluminum City Telethon. View shows line of students with brass instruments. Student with drums in foreground.
The Aluminum City Telethon was started in 1980. The Kitimat Sports Association was approached by the board of directors of the Child Development Centre, and asked for their assistance in raising funds. The idea of a Telethon was agreed on and a committee was formed.
Each year the Telethon executive receives requests from the different non-profit organizations within our own community. They then decide on how to disburse the funds raised that year. after the letters of requests are reviewed and a brief presentation is made to the board of directors explaining how the money received will be spent.

Notes
The photo is shown in the Northern Sentinel, but is not the exact same moment. However, it appears to be the same evening, and is certainly the same girl. This edition of the Northern Sentinel is dated July 3rd, 1980. The photo is caption "Some Talent!" and underneath that is a longer caption stating this; "Evangeline Gabas, chosen Miss Talent in the 1980 Miss Kitimat competition, showed the crowd why, when she performed some exotic Fillipino dancing at Riverlodge Monday night.
