This is my goal, to raise 1000 MINIMUM for Food Bank!we can do at least this good!
We are Vikings!

A huge thank you to Nancy Watts and everyone involved in her Wine Pool Fundraiser for becoming 1 of 300 in support of our Loading Dock Campaign!

Nancy is always finding creative ways to give back and support causes throughout our community, and we are so honoured that she chose the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank this time. Your generosity is helping us build a stronger future and bring even more food into our community.

Your tickets matter because the proceeds tickets sold once all expenses have been covered will be going to our local St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank - The Caring Cupboard

JUST in time for the Fall season!

An epic way to have fun, reconnect and bring back some joy in giving back to the community that shaped us!

I for one, have had to use the food bank; as a child in the late 70’s and early 80’s my mother used it often. And resentfully and reluctantly AGAIN in my forties … As someone who had struggled with ongoing health issues, having overcome cancer more than one time in the post cancer era … unable to work, and actually and for real alone with no support. I am very fortunate to have my family or I would be on the streets I am sure!

In any case, I was privileged to be helped by a place such as this while I was rebuilding and healing from what life had handed to me.

It is the reason I chose my own local food bank to give back to the community that gave to my mother and her five children long long ago and then again to myself 30 years later.

I am and will forever be very appreciative thankful to the volunteers who give of themselves, their time, their energy, and to the ones who do have more than others and can spare some for others.

It is a principle I believe in strongly. Reciprocity makes community work together better!

Circles and better than ladders any day! 😉

Cheers!

See ya at the reunion!

The best reunions don’t just celebrate the past… they leave a legacy for the future.

One community.
One night.
One incredible opportunity to give back.

AVSS Retro Rewind has become about more than just reconnecting to celebrate 100 years of Viking Pride.

It’s about coming home… and it is about finding ways to help our community thrive.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank in support of their One of 300 Campaign.

🎟 100% of the net proceeds from ticket sales, after event expenses, will be donated directly to the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank to help them reach their goal of 300 local businesses contributing $1,000 each.

A special thank you to Adrian Peters from A& M Sounds Disc Jockey Service for their generous partial sponsorship, their expertise in planning, and helping us kick-start this initiative and maximize the impact we can make together.

Every ticket you purchase is more than admission to an incredible night of music, memories, laughter, and reconnecting.

It’s an investment in back in to the community that helped to shape us.
