Please help get us closer to the $90K we need (we have saved $47K so far) to build the General Brock School Intermediate Playground. The story with video at https://supportbrockplaygound.wordpress.com/ (in summary, we have an area of bashed up concrete, and the kids would like a playground instead).
Join us on Saturday March 4, 2017, 7-10pm, at the Mountain View Celebration Hall (Fraser/East 37). Tickets $35 per person or $65 a couple, gets you 2 drinks per person and food, 2 hours of live jazz (2 acts!), and a lovely silent auction and a really good time!
