I'm proud to co-host Likemind Vancouver where we create opportunities for Vancouverites to connect and converse over something as simple as a cup of coffee, but we wanted to do something special and make a positive contribution to a worthy cause. I really want to encourage you to attend this event.
I'm sure you'll agree that the continuing string of suicides of Canadian veterans is a tragedy. Multimedia artist Foster Eastman is creating a special mural art project called Lest We Forget Canada to commemorate each of the 162 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan, with all proceeds going to support Veterans Transition Network (VTN), who offer treatment programs to our men and women returning home from their military service. VTN saves lives and they need our support!
Please meet us for FREE coffee and donuts at 8am on Friday, March 21st at the former Buschlen Mowatt Gallery at 1445 West Georgia Street and meet the artist and some of the veterans. You'll get to see the art being made and if you're lucky get to participate in some of the process yourself!
Please join us for a coffee and help us change some lives,
Mark Busse
