Hey there back country skiers, ice climbers, mountaineers and all those who like to play in the back country, the Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin is having their 3rd annual fundraiser. The VI Avalanche Bulletin is a registered non-profit organization. The Bulletin's goal is to offer the most current information on back country safety conditions.
This is near and dear to our heart here at Tria because we have a lot of friends and family who back country ski and the Avalanche Bulletin helps to keep them informed and safe.
This fund raising event has become a crucial part of the funding formula for The Bulletin, raising about half the funds they need annually to keep this service running. Their goal this year, with your help and with the help of all the generous sponsors, is to start delivering forecasts three times a week instead of two. They can only do this if the funds raised from this event are sufficient. So come on out and have a good time and support The Bulletin.
Tria will be there selling crepes, with a portion of the proceeds going toward The Bulletin.
The Cona Hostel will be running a shuttle from the Courtenay Museum to the Cultural Centre with stops in between, beginning at 8 p.m. until the party ends. A suggested donation of $5 is recommended.
Where: Cumberland Cultural Centre, 2674 Dunsmuir Avenue, Cumberland.
When: Saturday, Jan. 29. Doors at 8 p.m. Silent auction closes at midnight.
Cost: $10 tickets will be sold in advance.
Tickets can be purchased in Cumberland at Tarbell's Cafe, in Courtenay at Bop City Records and by telephone with credit card payment at Island Alpine Guides by phoning them at (250) 400-2870. TIX go fast, be sure to get yours to avoid disappointment!
