Aaron's M.I.L.L is in need of volunteers
Willy Stevenson has established himself as one the most well-known musicians in Brockville and area dating back to when he was in the band that was here for the opening of the old Wilco Thousand Islands Mall in 1973.
On top of that, Willy said he started playing at the Brockville Arts Centre when he was 10, which means its been over five decades for him as a musician.
Willy's son Aaron shared his father's passion for music, which lead to Willy, his wife Kelly, oldest son Austin and a few of Aaron's friends creating the not-for-profit, Do It For Aaron Foundation (DIFA) after he (Aaron) tragically died in September 2013.
What started out as a summer festival has turned into a musical instrument lending library for seven years running inside Stinger's Indoor Paintball at 125 Stewart Blvd. Willy volunteers his time to help others learn how to play an instrument, and said everyone's welcome.
Willy also said Aaron's M.I.L.L is in need of volunteers. To get involved or to make a donation, visit difafoundation.ca, call 613-803-8766, or message the Do It For Aaron Facebook page.
