Putting photos up of beautiful Vancouver scenery is somehow going to persuade the destitute of East Van to improve their lives?

Lets have a meet in Vancouver July 11 or 12 and Oink can sign us all into the Legion or we can go somewhere else. Willing to go 1000 miles for a few beer, shows commitment if not sound judgement.

After Friday night that might not be an option. But somewhere else should work.
