    CALL FOR BANDS: SEVENTH ANNUAL BATTLE OF THE BAR BANDS IN VICTORIA – MARCH 30, 2012

    Victoria’s 7th Annual Battle of the Bar Bands has been confirmed for Friday, March 30, 2012 at the Edelweiss Club in James Bay.  For those lucky enough to have attended this year’s event, you know that the Edelweiss Club provided a great space with delicious food and well-priced libations, a great stage and a terrific dance floor that was well-used throughout the night by attendees and judges alike. They have sweetened the deal for 2012 with an added upstairs bar to ensure no band, woman or man goes thirsty.

    Now that the date has been set, we are putting out a CALL FOR BANDS to participate. If you are interested in entering a band in this event, kindly email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your name and band information as soon as possible. The deadline is March 2, 2012. Please keep in mind that, while points may be awarded for “legal content” of the band itself, it is not a requirement that all members be lawyers. Also, to spice things up, there will be bonus points for “eagerness” for the first 3 bands to register.


     

    Give a Pint, Get a Pint


    Or, technically, a glass.

    The VBA wants to reward you for giving blood. Give blood at the local Canadian Blood Services at any time.  Then present your blood appointment card to the registration table at the next VBA dinner to redeem for a drink of your choice.

    When at the blood clinic, ask them to help you register your donation to the “Lawyers of Victoria”.  We are partner members of the Canadian Blood Services.  Our 2010 total donations are 13 units.  In 2009, we donated 34 units.

    Walk-in or better still call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to make an appointment. (If you do not want recruitment call-backs, then ask the blood clinic to note this on your file.)

    The blood clinic hours are 11:30 am to 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, or every other Saturday from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm.
