[van-announce] Poverty Olympics February 3

[Alan James]

Raise the Rates Coalition is hosting the first annual Poverty 
Olympics Feb. 3, 1-4 pm, Carnegie Theatre, 401 Main St., 
Vancouver.  Family fun event with Opening and closing ceremonies, 
skit games like the Welfare Hurdles, Broadjump over a bedbug infested 
mattress, poverty line high jump. Mascots.  Brand new End Poverty 
Torch built by Downtown Eastside artists will be unveiled.  Food 
including cockroach cake, and our very own end poverty anthem (to the 
tune of Oh Canada).  It should be fun and we'll invite the media and 
send releases to foreign media too. For more information, contact the 
Carnegie Action Committee 604-729-2380 or Jean Swanson -
