OK I've straightened Pia out and she now knows it's this Wed 29th!

Just ran into Pia on Dec 26th - she seems to think the potluck/movie night at her house is tomorrow 27th yet the advertising says Dec 29th which is Wednesday - I don't have Pia's phone No and she's not on the Kits Village list.

January Potluck Sunday, Jan 9th, at the Billy Bishop Legion, 1407 Laburnum Street, 5pm onwards. 604 738 4142. No minors please - 19 years or older.

The theme and surprises are still being pulled together but we are hoping to celebrate Plough Sunday with the Vancouver Morris Men for whom the pub is their 'village church' in Canada.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plough_Sunday

Dinner at the Naam was awesome last night, Nov 14th. I had such a good time with so much constructive and positive chat. Thanks people!

Welcome to Kits Village, Marnie! You're our 50th member.

This sounds great.

Cheers,

Hi Kitsilano folk,

Although I've worked here for a while, I've just moved to Kits, so am happy to join this group. I also work for SPEC which shares many of the goals and values of VV. I am holding a canning and preserving workshop at SPEC this Saturday October 23rd with SPEC board member Caitlin Dorward. We plan to make jam and pickled beans and discuss different canning and preserving methods.

This hands-on workshop will run 1-3pm at SPEC. Participants will come away with a jar of preserves and instructions to help them get started.

If you have little canning experience and would like to attend please register at www.spec.bc.ca/events If you are an experienced canner and would like to help support the budding folk, do feel free to join us!

Thank you!

Marnie Newell

PS Kits Neighbourhood house is also holding their fall fair nearby the same day. So visit them that morning before heading over.

Many thanks to Mary for hosting our June potluck and her yummy chili. Your lemon balm and fennel tea was delicious.

Hi Mary:

Second Sunday, June 13th, sounds good to me - at 6pm right? For June we'd better figure on your common room!

Potlucks on the 2nd Sunday of each month? Ross and I were talking (emailing actually) about the benefits of having a regular date for a Kits Transition Village potluck - so we can get to know each other on a regular basis. I'm checking with my housing co-op to make sure no one has something else booked, but I can probably offer our common room for June, July and/or August. We're at 5th and Trafalgar. One or more of the events could be to meet up here and take a picnic down to the beach at the foot of Trafalgar (or stay here if it rains or such). Your thoughts - post here or send me a note to trafalgarmary@gmail.com

Hi Henry:
Sorry to hear things are bad in Prague. I have never been there but have seen it in several movies. Do they have pollution prevention standards for vehicles? It sounds like there are none, hence the smell.
I've always wondered why the west did not do more to help with advice on governance when Communism collapsed; we just left you guys to sort it out yourselves and expected you to transition to democracy as if that was somehow a natural state. We are still barely out of the jungle on an evolutionary time scale and can't expect people to be nice and fair to each other without a big carrot!
