Get ready to party! It is the Vining Street Party On the Plaza (VS POP, formerly known as the Vining Street Block Party). Join with the residents of Vining Street as we host the family oriented party for a 7th year.
Celebrate our vibrant Fernwoodian Community and raise funds for community projects. VS POP 2014 activities include a giant silent auction, a delicious BBQ, live stage performances, magicians, clowns, stilt-walking, face painting, bumper balls (inflatable soccer) for children 10+ years old, hamster balls for those 10 years and under, hoola hoops, and more. Also, for the first time ever, you are invited to display your products at a unique green and sustainable showcase market.
To sponsor, donate, perform, or volunteer, and for more information, please contact VS POP Coordinator Laurie Rubin, 250-995-2696, lrubin@shaw.ca. Donated items may be emailed, mailed, or dropped off at #3-1318 Vining Street, Victoria, V8R 1P6.
Please note that VS POP is volunteer-driven, receives no outside or government funding, and thrives specifically due to your generosity.
Staging the event costs approximately $6,000. Last year’s VS POP raised $16,000. $6,000 of those funds was distributed to the Community Micro Lending Society, Pandora Arts Collective, Fernwood NRG’s food security programs, and Vic High School’s programs for vulnerable students. $4,000 was held in reserve for VS POP 2014. Net proceeds from VS POP 2014 will go to the Learning Disabilities Association of BC’s South Vancouver Island Chapter to support their work with vulnerable children through their reading and writing programs. Check them out at ldasvi.bc.ca.
Please join us to make this year’s 7th Annual VS POP yet another resounding success! You can locate us at facebook.com/Vining.Street.Block.Party.
