For the first time, in a very long time, there will be a VPL Staff Holiday Party, henceforth to be called:

Every year individual worksites get together to celebrate the holiday season but it's time to think BIG. A small group of us (Lesli Boldt, Brie Grey-Noble, Anne Olsen, and Simone Hill) have taken it upon ourselves to organize a Holiday Party for ALL VPL STAFF, friends and family. There will be music, munchies, door prizes, 50/50 and more! So brush off your party clothes, and your spouses/partners and get ready for the event of the season!

This event will be independently funded by the organizers. However, we would like to thank members of LMT who have personally donated cash and prizes to make this a truly memorable event: Paul Whitney, Sandra Singh, Corinne Durston and Shelagh Flaherty. Special thanks also go out to CUPE 391 who have also stepped up to help sponsor our event.

We will also be looking for volunteers to help us out, so if you're>>interested please send me an email and I will give you more details. More information on how to purchase tickets will sent out soon

Funds go towards hall/equipment rental, catering, etc. Any residual profits will be rolled over to the 2007 Holiday Party. Should this event be the overwhelming success we hope it will be, additional funds may be donated to the VPL Foundation.
