The Riverview Carnival

Once again thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate spring at the annual Riverview Spring Carnival.  It was a great success!  The splattering of rain during the day and the cooler temperatures in the evening did not dampen the spirits of the Riverview residents.  It was an evening to remember with all of the smiling faces on the children, the voices of the Riverview school choir, the evening of dancing with Big Bob and his Band and of course the amazing fireworks.
 
There are so many tireless volunteers to thank after such a wonderful evening.  There were the people helping out with the children's activities and races, the tweens assisting with the penny carnival and all of the people helping out at the bar.  Thank you so much to all of you!  There are a few people in particular that we would like to acknowledge by name as they worked many hours before the carnival ensuring everyone and everything was in its place.  Thanks to Janelle Cancade-White for organizing the volunteers for the children's activities, thanks to Patti Ginter and Darcie Reimer for putting together the penny carnival, thanks to Greg Stevens for organizing the races, thanks to Mike Schultz for his tired less efforts in setting up and thanks to Jason Playter and Jamie Giasson for the incredible fireworks.  We would also like to acknowledge Carla Chandler and the rest of the staff at the Riverview Community Club for all of their hard work which contributed to the success of the carnival.  Thank you as well to Genny Gerbasi and Diane McGifford for their donations.
 
The Spring Carnival is a fun event and it was our pleasure to be able to be such a large part of it for the past two years.  We hope that the rest of the Riverview Community enjoyed the evening as much as we did.
 
The Carnival Committee:  Diane Lee Sousa, Laura McMaster and Darlene Stevens
 
ps  We are passing the torch!  Please let us know if you are interested in planning the 2010 Carnival.  We will walk you through our flow chart.

Riverview Neighborhood Garage Sales

Saturday, June 13, 9am to 4pm 

There are 4 ways you can help:
 
1. Hold a yard or garage sale at your own home on June 13th, and donate 10% of sales to RVCC. We will do all of the advertising to bring shoppers to our neighbourhood.
 
2. Donate saleable goods to RVCC and they will be sold at a 'garage' sale there on June 13th. You may drop off garage sale goods at the community centre into the main floor storage room, any day from 10 am until 9pm.
All proceeds will go to the RVCC.
 
3. Volunteer to assist at the RVCC sale on June 11th, 12th or 13th for a few hours to help with a variety of tasks, such as pricing, display, setting up, taking down & packing, lifting  & carrying boxes & furniture, clean up, driving unsold boxes of goods to a specific location.
 
4. Visit the sales for great bargains on treasures you won't find in any shopping mall. Come find out why Winnipeg is known as 'the garage sale capital of Canada'!
 
For further information or questions, please contact the Garage Sale Coordinator, Steve Lennon 781-6549.

If you are not going to be home or don't want to be interrupted, and have bottles or cans to donate, please leave them on your front step.
