EastVanLove tweetup vol4

Dec 7, 6PM
The Hood
395 Kingsway (12th and Kingsway)

What is #EastVanLove vol4 about?
It’s easy to donate money, but how about your time? The concept behind the EastVanLove Tweetups has been promoting and supporting the East Vancouver community. What better way to show your East Van Love than by getting involved with one of the area’s organizations in need?

With the theme of community time-raising, Got Time, several organizations will speak about how they got involved in the East Side, what they do to build community, positive real-world examples of how their organizations changed lives for the better, and innovative ways on how YOU can help out.

This will be an upbeat evening of how volunteering can benefit the community. There will be time for networking and audience members to meet the speakers if they are interested in volunteering.

What is East of Main?
 
Practically overnight, Vancouver’s Main Street has become the ‘hip’ area of town, complete with trendy bars, restaurants, and shops. The same kind of gentrification has been slow to reach areas further East of Main. East of Main is our community - with a strong visible minority presence, a  progressive worldview, and solid working class roots.
