Lethbridge is bidding for the 2019 Canada Winter Games and needs your help: just show up and be part of a big crowd to wow the pants off the Selection Committee on Thursday, August 21.
There will be a breakfast at 8am at the Enmax arena (to which you can send family and friends because you will be at our regular Rotary Sunrise meeting where we will be greeting our Inbound Exchange student, Paco), and a lunchtime festival in Galt Gardens at noon. All you have to do is show up, wearing sports attire if you have any (dragonboat shirts would work). Your body in the crowd is all that's needed to show the Selection Committee how much Lethbridge wants to host the Games!
When you show up, you are not doing it just for the sports, for the athletes, for our economy, or to give our community one more reason to celebrate; you are doing it for all of the above and more.
On September 21, 2014 the Lethbridge Public Library will host its fourth annual THE WORD ON THE STREET FESTIVAL. Founded in Toronto in 1990, the Festival's goal is to enhance and enrich a connection to reading and writing in all its forms by showcasing local, provincial and national literary and artistic talent. The festival presents established and emerging authors, storytellers, demonstrations and workshops, street performers, live music, and a bustling marketplace. We strive to create a festival that represents the diversity of our community, is appropriate to all ages, and most importantly is lively and fun.
It takes a lot of volunteers to be able to pull off a free, community event of this size so please consider volunteering. This is a great volunteer opportunity as it is only a one day event and will not require an extended time commitment on anyones part. If you would like to volunteer please contact Emily Kundrik by phone at 403 320-4078 or by email at word@lethlib.ca
