On April 25th, Ride to Break the Cycle is coming to home sweet home, Metchosin, in conjunction with the first annual Earth Day celebration at the newly renovated, lovely/gorgeous Metchosin Community House.
This is a great excuse for all us islanders to rendezvous together in the beautifulest municipality in the world - and do it in style.
I'll be accepting donations for the Ride to Break the Cycle with the goal of reaching the my $4000 fundraising goal that day! Currently, my amazing supporters have helped me to fundraise approximately $2,850, which means I have a hefty goal of raising just over $1000 on April 25th at the Metchosin Community House!
All the money raised goes directly towards the Global Agents for Change youth-run microcredit fund which will give business loans to third world entrepreneurs who are trying to make a sustainable living for their familes and pull themselves out of poverty.
The day includes a silent auction with donated paintings from local artists Robert C. Anderson, and Frank Mitchell. Wendy Mitchell has donated a handmade item made from sheep's wool. As well, locally made jean tote bags will be for sale! Not to mention, lino print bicycle cards, handcrafted by your's truly.
Musical talents are being looked into, but we are hoping to have a very talented mandolin player from Victoria join us in the good times.
I'll be there to mingle and chat about what it is the 25 of us are hoping to accomplish this summer, and might even share a tidbit or two on how to change a flat bike tire - something I've just learned and am pretty proud about!
Please come and show your support! I would love to see as many beautiful Metchosin faces as possible.
This artful/ environmental/ musical event will run from 2pm at the Metchosin Community House on Happy Valley Road on Saturday, April 25th.
Optional: Bike ride along the goose before or afterward :) Let me know if you're interested and let's raise $1000 for microcredit and the trip of a lifetime!
cheers and bananas,
Gala
