Development Drinks, May 21 edition

Welcome to the latest edition of development drinks, the follow-up.

You can find lovely photos here. There's even a video of the MCs and several brave audience volunteers doing a swing-dance demonstration to promote BCCIC's upcoming fundraiser (June 11, Maritime Labour Centre, more details here), with Darlene guiding us through it. 

A giant thank-you also goes out to Avery Gottfried, from the EPIC, who spoke about Vancouver's recent move to become a Fair Trade City, Hunter Moyes, from the Vancouver People's Summit, who spoke on the birth of the VPS, and Robert Fox, with At the Table, who spoke about our collective responsibility for each other. They were interesting and thought-provoking talks, and we're sincerely sorry if you missed them! Although, as Robert mentioned, it's probably a good sign for your social life if you weren't with us on Friday night...

Which takes me to another giant thank-you to everyone who came. Consider yourselves acknowledged in the Picasa web album.

See you on June 11 for Swingin' for a Good Cause - call us or email to purchase tickets ($25)!
