Hi all,

We're going to do a smallish community village (3 or 4 tents) at the Khatsalano street fest on Saturday, and need help with everything from setting up (around 9:30-11am), tabling (noon-8pm), and breaking down (8-9pm). Chickens, seed library, displays, etc.

On 4th, between Larch and Trafalgar, in the Kits Neighbourhood House area.

Please contact Ross at ross@villagevancouver.ca if you can help for a couple/few hours.

Hi all,

Every year I buy a bunch of tickets from the Rogue Folk Club at a member discount and make them available at cost to friends and fellow music lovers.

This year tickets are $122. (Early bird passes thru the Folk Fest were $135 thru June 11, and are currently $150.) Naturally, my supply is limited, so 1st come, 1st serve.

If you're interested. please contact me at "folk fest tix" ross@villagevancouver.ca.

Cheers,

Ross

P.S. Anyone who's interested…

Hello:



The Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House is looking for volunteer chefs to help us run a variety of community kitchens/food workshops (see description below and attached).



I understand you run such workshops and am wondering if someone from VV might be available to volunteer with us once a month, or help us connect with chefs who might be able to do this.



Thank you,

Melanie

Hey all!

Interested in helping plan future Kits Village activities and direction?

Good things are cooking in our village -- figuratively, as well as  literally! Currently, activities include monthly potlucks/garden parties, movie nights, and dropin spaghetti nights.

Last year we gardened collaboratively at Kits House and this year we're looking to start a new garden at Billy Bishop Legion Hall -- and perhaps in other locations as well.

We just had our 1st Soup…
