The Westside Family Place in Kitsilano is holding their annual fund raising auction event.
Read all details on their website: Event Calendar
The CBC’s Ian Hanomansing and Fred Lee will host the fourth annual Fund-Raising auction for West Side Family Place on October 15, 2009 at St. James Community Square, 3214 West 10th Avenue. This year promises to be the biggest year yet, with prizes including everything from an adventure weekend in Campbell River (accommodations, snorkeling with salmon, whale watching and heli-tour all included) to a fabulous barbeque dinner for 12 provided in your home by the chefs at Vancouver’s famous Gotham Steakhouse. There is also original jewelry designed for the Family Place by Andrew Costen, designer to the Royal Family and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and a complete Mommy Makeover by Suki’s Salon.
Smaller items include 20 spectacular gift baskets, birthday party packages for your own little one, and special treats for Mom and Dad. For a donation, you can have your picture taken with either Ian or Fred (or both!) and printed for you right there by Sony Canada.
Tickets are just $12.00 and include a night of fine food, wine, and music by the Jazz Con Brio quintet. Proceeds go to support the programs at West Side Family Place. Created 35 years ago, Family Place was the first such family resource centre in Canada, and quickly became the national model for others to follow.
Tickets may be purchased through West Side Family Place at [masked] or at Family Place. Doors open at 7pm, and will close when the goodies are gone!
This event will surely be a lot of fun! Unfortunately I will be working that night since my employers are going to a fund-raising event themselves. But if you are interested, please try to meet up and go together! I'm sure it will be fun! Also tell your employers if you live in the area!
The Westside Family Place is a great place to take little kids, I am there every Tuesday and Thursday until noon. Come and chat with me if you see me around!
