South Osborne Urban Community Cooperative (SOUCC)

Benefit Social June 27, 2009, 8:00 p.m

What is the South Osborne Urban Community Cooperative (SOUCC) ?   It was established by two local Riverview residents, who organized the Food Drive at Breakfast with Santa. The SOUCC endeavours to help the urban community in South Osborne, including  Riverview, to take full advantage of the opportunities that exist in supporting local agriculture, healthier, more responsible growers and sustainable agricultural practices. The SOUCC wants to bring together a variety of growers from rural Manitoba and other areas of our city to help foster relationships between our neighbours and these farmers.

Activities:  On June 27th, at 8:00pm at the Riverview Community Centre, we are hosting a fundraising beneft social. From 8 to 10 we'll be having a quieter time, serving organic, carbon-neutral wine and offering other selections of drinks for sale, and introducing many of the growers we're partnering with and giving our neighbours an opportunity to learn what is going to happen at our markets. We'll be offering a variety of raffle prizes including an Organic Wine Tasting for 10, CDs by local musicians, work by local artists, and gift certificates from many local businesses. At 10   pm we're joined by two local bands who will play until midnight. Tickets are  $ 10 and are available  from Jesse or Evan (contact info below) or from the community club at 90 Ashland.. This is a fundraiser, so we're hoping that many of you would consider coming out and seeing what we have to offer!

The Markets themselves will be held on July 19th and August 16th. Stay tuned for more details!
