The scholarships range from $1\,200 to $4\,000 and can be applied to either college or university costs\, which continue to rise substantially each year. We also provide scholarships to students at the University of Victoria and Camosun College. The funds we raise from our book sale are essential to the scholarship program. And though our members have long finished their formal educations\, our mission emphasizes life-long learning. Reading a good book just fits right in. \nSo\, please set aside some time on July 27th to drop in and see what great books we’ll have on offer. We look forward to seeing you.

SUMMARY:St Paul's presents – Sue Decker
DESCRIPTION:Victoria songwriter and slide guitarist Sue Decker is bringing her stirring and well-crafted songs to Sidney in July as she gears up to record her second album. Set to be released later this year\, the album will be recorded in Nashville with sought-after roots producer Steve Dawson. \nThe Sue Decker Band delivers their country soul sound infusing Sue’s evocative songwriting with the echoes of early blues\, country\, and folk. Sue’s soulful voice\, earthy slide guitar playing\, and ‘outlaw country’ songwriting sensibility make for a powerful combination. Joining Sue (guitar\, vocals and lap steel guitar) are Denny Box (drums)\, Ellen Box (bass) and Gavin Hodgins (mandolin\, guitar\, vocals). \nIn 2019\, Sue released her debut full length album Outskirts of Love to international acclaim. “We have proof here that Ry Cooder and Lucinda Williams once hooked up. Decker is a mind-blowing talent not to be missed.” ~ Midwest Record.
