SUMMARY:Solstice Beach Party at Kits Beach
DESCRIPTION:Meatless Meetup\nThis is our annual meetup on the beach to cel
 ebrate Solstice. Celebrating Solstice means enjoying the daylight and watc
 hing the sun go down circa 9:30. This year we're postponing our beach part
 y until a few weeks after Solstice\, so it is **after** FIFA has finished\
 , as the beach is predicted to be even more crowded than usual during the 
 World Cup.\n\n**Bring your own towel or blanket to sit on**. If you want o
 thers to sit with you\, bring a sheet or something.\n\n**Also\, please bri
 ng some vegan snacks to share\, such as strawberries\, blueberries\, pizza
 \, popcorn\, chips etc.**\n\n**Volunteer greeters are needed\, so contact 
 us if you are interested.**\n\nWe're **not** meeting AT the Boathouse rest
 aurant. We will be directly in front of the restaurant **but very close to
  the water not the restaurant**. All attempts to have signs over the years
  have resulted in the signs blowing over. **You will find us by walking al
 ong the water's edge NOT by walking along the path beside the restaurant.*
 *\n\nHere's a map of approximately where we'll be: [https://goo.gl/maps/jz
 TtiQqNZdBYrxJ1A](https://goo.gl/maps/jzTtiQqNZdBYrxJ1A)\n\nSummer solstice
  is the longest day of the year because the length of time between sunrise
  and sunset on that day is the yearly maximum. Daylight on Solstice this y
 ear will last 16 hours and 15 minutes.\n\nP.S. Let us know if you are goin
 g to arrive late but it's best to arrive early. **Please arrive before 7:1
 5.**\n\nPlease bring a guitar if you know how to play and want to sing tog
 ether. Please don't bring an electronic sound system.\n\n**NB. In the case
  of any rain that day\, the event will be postponed to Sunday. Please note
 : If it is sunny at 6:00 but the sand is wet from rain earlier\, the event
  is still postponed.**\n\n\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\nSpec

 ats is a registered charity that provides permanent\, communal housing for
  hundreds of abandoned and at-risk rabbits in Vancouver\, Richmond\, and o
 ther parts of the Lower Mainland. Tasks at the sanctuary will involve clea
 ning out colonies (living spaces)\, feeding the bunnies\, refilling water 
 dishes\, and petting rabbits to help them socialize with humans.\n\n**We w
 ill start the session by touring the sanctuary and hand-feeding greens to 
 all the bunnies. Then we'll dig into some work. After helping the bunnies 
 for a few hours\, we will break at 6pm for a well-deserved vegan potluck d
 inner!** Plus\, blueberry bushes are growing and they are ready to be pick

  the sun\, or indoors\, as you wish)\, and wear clothes you don't mind get
 ting dusty. Work gloves will be provided\, or you can bring your own as we
 ll if you wish.\n\nPlease keep in mind that Rabbitats is not transit acces
 sible. It's in rural Richmond. Drivers are needed to get out to the sanctu
 ary\, so please post if you have a vehicle\, if you are willing to drive o
 thers\, and what city/part of the city you are in (passengers\, please pit
 ch in for gas). Your host Alison will reach out to arrange the carpools. W
 e can have a maximum of 11 cars park on the property\, with any overflow v
 ehicles to part at the SilverCity parking lot (free)\, just 3 minutes away
