Grandin Village Holiday Children's Parade Saturday, November 23rd 11am

The Grandin Village Business Association is sponsoring the Annual Grandin Village Holiday Children's Parade
Saturday November 23rd at 11:00 am.

The parade starts at Christ Lutheran Church (2011 Brandon Ave) on the corner of Grandin Road & Brandon Avenue and proceeds through Historic Grandin Village, ending at Mick or Mack (1312 Winborne St.). Held the Saturday before Thanksgiving each year, this is a neighborhood favorite and includes Santa on a Fire Engine and much more.

No registration is required to participate and children of all ages are welcome. If you'd like to enter a float, come to the parking lot of Christ Lutheran Church between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. As this is a children's parade, only small floats will be allowed (wagons, etc). No motorized vehicles, please. Scout groups, dance groups and baton twirlers are encouraged to participate as well. If music is needed for this type of group, then a motorized vehicle will be allowed for that purpose.

Boy Scout Troop 8 will be collecting canned goods for charity so please bring a donation.

Sunday, May 20th
Annual Grandin Village Block Party
2 pm - 4:30pm

Meet your neighbors and enjoy family fun free events throughout the day! 

Grandin Road will be closed to traffic between Memorial Avenue and Westover Avenue to allow for the street faire.  This annual gathering provides an opportunity for neighbors to meet and enjoy free family fun, music and activities.

Please join us for an afternoon filled with food and friends. Events include live entertainment, children’s activities, and the annual favorite – free hotdogs donated by Valleydale and dessert made by the Raleigh Court Health and Rehabiliation Center bakers! 

For kids, there will be the Jimmy Sardines Moon Bounce and face painting by Grandin Village artist Katherine Devine.  They can climb on a real fire truck from Fire Station #7, create their own sidewalk art and twist ‘n shout with a Hula Hoop.  A juggler and magician will keep children of all ages entertained.  Kids are encouraged to decorate and ride their bikes.  They can display them in the alleyway next to the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op.

 This annual event is part of Roanoke City’s Neighborhood Month, a celebration of unity and neighborhood pride. During the month of May, neighborhood groups sponsor events to come together as one community and celebrate our neighborhoods.

Stop Hunger Now: Haiti - You can help! Sunday, March 14th @ Patrick Henry High School

Volunteers needed to help pack meals for Haiti:
Sunday, March 14th
Patrick Henry High School
11am-8pm

Please join us Sunday, March 14, 2010 at Patrick Henry High School to pack dehydrated meals for Haiti through Stop Hunger Now, an international food relief organization. Roanoke area churches, colleges and civic groups are soliciting donations and volunteers for this event– a project to package 140,000 meals to send to Haiti in the aftermath of the recent earthquakes.

Working in shifts of one and a half hours, volunteers of all ages will assemble packets of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix with vitamins and minerals. These packets will be shipped to Haiti in April.

Between 500 and 700 volunteers and $35,000 are needed to pack 140,000 meals. The event will last from 11 to 7 on Sunday, March 14.

We hope to make this event as diverse as possible and welcome volunteers of all ages, denominations and backgrounds. Our website is www.stophungernowroanoke.wordpress.com.

For additional information, contact Jenny Fife, Coordinator, St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church: jlgarrett@mindspring.com or 540-797-8174.
