Now I know that Timeraiser is an excellent cause designed to get people excited about volunteering, showing them some cool volunteer opportunities in their communities, promoting artists in their community … blah blah blah blah blah … and a whole pile of other do gooder shit, but let’s get down to the real reason to go to a Timeraiser Event – this is THE PERFECT VENUE for MEETING that SPECIAL SOMEONE.
Think about!!! The kind of person attracted to such an event:
- Appreciates art.
- Is into making their world look beautiful.
- Has a big heart.
- Wants to volunteer and help out in their community.
BINGO!!!! I mean, need I say more.
I know, I need not say more, but I can’t help but share a couple of visuals …
Timeraiser Vancouver Madmoiselle: Jessica Evans
Rumour has it she’s wearing the same dress as last year, which despite fancying men, even makes me drool.
A Couple of the Artists: Rachael Ashe and Mia Weinberg
Madam Timeraiser Vancouver: Jen Grebeldinger
I’d post a few snaps of the men too, but selfishly, I’m more interested in inviting a plethora of gentlemen out and I’m guessing that the snaps above will better aid in that.
So what are the details?
The 3rd Annual Timeraiser Vancouver is on Thursday September 23rd at 7 pm at the Roundhouse Community Centre.
You can get your $20 tickets here or win a pair by commenting below with ‘your favourite volunteer experience’ or ‘why you enjoy volunteering’. I will pop the name of all whom comment in a hat and draw a name of the lucky winner at 6 pm on Tuesday September 21st.
See you on Thursday night!
Kisses,
Emme xoxo

My entry on the two free tickets to TimeRaiser event (which is such an innovative idea)!
WHY I LOVE VOLUNTEERING:
My friends and I co-founded a grassroots group earlier this year called Rangi Changi Roots (www.rangichangi.ca). The purpose is to try to bridge the social and climate justice movements. We’d like to do this by bringing color to the green movement! We feel like these two movements have been working in silo and it’s time to bridge the gap!
So we’ve hosted two events this year. The first one was a dialogue between green non-profits and multicultural agencies on ‘why is the green movement so white’. The second event was a storytelling night with culturally diverse eco-leaders. Attendees at both events gave us such great feedback and felt like it really helped them understand what the issues were.
We’ve all been doing this without pay and it just excites us to make the green movement more inclusive and diverse. So YAY FOR VOLUNTEERING!!

An entry from @RayUnemployed on Facebook:
i dont know what Timeraiser is? but I often volunteer.From tomorrows Terry Fox run to the last 8 years helping the Chilliwack river cleanup coalition ( CVCC ) and 2 local fish hatcherys ( ALCO&KEEPS ) plus several geocaching clean ups etc etc I love to help out.My Motto is ‘ dont pitch it out, Pitch in!”
I also was signed up with Lilith Fair this year to
volunteer but they moved the venue far far away due to low ticket sales.
and the Pitt Meadows womans shelter to help renovate a building last year except they got evicted by the city.I find …life is simpler if you only worry bout the things you can make a difference in and then get involved.
