Description
It’s sunny, it’s warm, and it’s time for Pivot’s Summer Potluck in Wonderland! Come out and join Pivot staff, board, interns, and volunteers for a relaxed potluck at Trout Lake Park on Sunday July 12th. Mingle with other Pivot supporters, talk social change, play a game of croquet, or just lounge in shade and enjoy the scenery.
We will be sharing the south-eastern side of park with the 15th annual Alice in Wonderland Festival and Mad Tea Party and the organizers are excited about Pivot supporters being part of the festivities.
So bring your rabbit ears and/or top hats and get ready for quite a show – the festival runs from 1 – 5 and the finale includes a performance by the legendary Carnival Band.
To see the festival in action – check out this video from last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWXy65GNX5s
Plus! See the new top 40 Hope in Shadows photos and vote for your favourite three!
What: Pivot Summer Potluck in Wonderland
When: Sunday, July 12th 3 – 8
Where: Trout Lake off 19th Avenue (south-east end of the park)
Who: Pivot supporters like you!
What you should bring:
Food: bring your favorite dish to share with everyone – and just so that we don’t end up with 200 different potato salads, send Naila a quick email at getinvolved [at] pivotlegal [dot] com and let us know what you are bringing. We are attempting to make the potluck a paper-plate free event, so please bring something to eat on (ceramic plate, tupperware, etc.) and utensils.
Musical instruments: if you have a musical instrument and feel like playing on a Sunday in the park, please bring it along.
Games: we have the basics – soccer, frisbee, croquet – covered but if you have a game that you really want to share, bring it out.
Costumes: If you want to engage with the festival the possibilities are endless (see the video). Some easy items include: rabbit ears, top hats, face-paint, Alice dresses.
Looking forward to seeing you in the park!
April Smith of AHA MEDIA is proud to be part of Pivot Foundation Board of Directors!
Below is a letter written by John Richardson, Executive Director of Pivot Legal Society
Dear April,
I am writing to congratulate you on your successful nomination to the Pivot Foundation Board of Directors!
We are all very excited to work with you, thank you very much for putting your name forward. We received a phenomenal list of nominees, and it was extremely hard to narrow it down. But what a final board! Each of the new directors is a leader in their field and their community, with tons of organizing experience and wide-ranging personal networks, and we are EXTREMELY curious and excited to see what will happen when you join forces with the goal of promoting social justice.
Our First Get-Together: Sunday, July 12, 2009
Our first get-together is going to more fun than work. You are warmly invited to Pivot Potluck in Wonderland, this coming Sunday, July 12, 2009. This will be a great chance to meet the other new directors, Pivot staff, interns and volunteers, and some of the thousands of Pivot supporters and donors. This is also where we will be formally announcing the new board of Pivot Foundation directors, so it would be great to have you there to take a bow!
I look forward to seeing you soon! In the meantime, I would like to invite you to join our Facebook Group, and start following us on twitter: @pivot_housing | @hopeinshadows | @kiwipaul @pwrinch
