I’ve started an event on vancouverunitarians.ning.com and will be publicizing in other places too.

Schedule

12:30-1:30 – arriving at Mary Bennetts place (5^th & Trafalgar); eating potluck sandwiches and juice (i.e. simple lunch)

1:30-2pm – finish off bee houses and signs and then

2pm – walk to 6^th & Trafalgar circle garden– install signs and houses and then

2:30 – walk to 6^th & Yew and check out Bees Please I – and the bees – there should be some by then. A nod to the Kids Neighbourhood Small Grant Program – Chloe was able to enhance her garden with signage thanks to a grant.

3:00 – go to community garden at 5^th and Cypress and hopefully meet with the folks who made a bee gate and bee hive through another Kitsilano neighbourhood small grant.

Have some cookies and more drinks in a leisurely manner.

 THANK YOU TO KITSILANO NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE AND VANCOUVER FOUNDATION FOR A NEIGHBOURHOOD SMALL GRANT – which provides funds for musicians honorarium, bee plants and signs and some refreshments.

PS – This is the 3^rd Sunday of the month April 15, so I’ll also be hosting a Kits Village vegan soup dinner at 5:30pm and going to Cric! Crac! Storytelling for 7pm at 2^nd and Larch.
