Kitsilano Block Party Workshop this Sunday, May 3rd from 11 to 12:300

Greetings to all block party hosts, potential hosts, and volunteers!

We would love you to come out to our 2009 workshop, being held at SPEC (2150 Maple St.) between 11 and 12:30 this Sunday, May 3rd. It will be a great chance for everyone to share stories from the 2008 event and also introduce newcomers to the Block Party concept.  Please come out if you are interested in hosting or volunteering this year! Coffee and treats will be served!

From the feedback we received after last year’s event it sounded like everyone had a great time with their block parties. Looking at the many photos from the various parties it’s clear that each party was unique and each host came up with some amazing ideas for having fun in the street!

This year’s Kits Car-free Block Parties Day will be held on Sunday, June 14th 2009. We hope to have an even greater number of block parties this year!
