SKATE PARTY FUNDRAISER


This is just a reminder that we're hosting a DISCO SKATE PARTY tonight at the Mt. Scott Community Center from 8-10PM to raise money for the VBC. There will be good food, good music, and lots of fun to be had--so come on over. (Skate rental is included in the $5 cover.)

Coming Events

There's much to do as the VBC approaches. Here's an update on the schedule of events for the VBC and let you know what we still need from volunteers.
  • Saturday, May 6th-- Neighborhood Clean-up: We'll be working on the triangle from 9-12, weeding, moving some gravel around and generally gettting the site ready for the swarms of volunteers who'll be iin attendance for the VBC. At noon we'll bring our debris over to Arleta school and help them finish up there as needed. We need some strong hands to helpas Brian Borrello starts putting up the posts that will hold our canopy. Bring work gloves, wheelbarrows, debris containers, water bottles and refreshments.
  • Friday, May 12th--Skate Party, 8-10PM, Mt. Scott Community Center Rink: This is our first big fundraiser for the triangle project in a while. We need to raise $750 to cover the cost of our builder for the VBC. We're looking for people to help run concessions. Also, we're thinking it would be nice to sell some homemade stuff, so if you like to bake and have something you'd like to donate to concessions, we'll happily accept it.
  • Saturday, May 13th--Foundation Prep: We'll be working on prepping the wall for the VBC throughout the day. I'll have more info once I see what we accomplish on the 6th.
  • Saturday, May 20th--VBC opening day and BLOCK PARTY!!! We need people of all shapes, ages, colors and sizes to come out to the triangle and help us kick off the day. We're looking for musicians (or any entertainers for that matter) , event organizers (help set up and break down, help put out lunch, etc.) , cob stompers, outreach people, and merry-makers to come out and help us make this thing possible.
  • Sunday, May 28th--ICE CREAM SOCIAL: We're looking for someone to help us organize this event as well.
In the meantime, if you'd like to get more involved, drop us a line at 503.774.3062 or email neighborhoodrepair@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you on the Triangle and at the Skate Party!
