Miles For Millions March February 18, 2008

On Saturday November 25, 1967, over 10,000 Victorians walked 26.5 miles to raise money for education and famine relief in developing countries. It was 1 in every 16 people from the Garden City who participated in what was hailed as "the best in Canada" raising over $100,000. Todays picture was taken along the Ross Bay sea wall that fateful day.

The Victoria Rock & Roll, Music Hall Of Fame "E Ballots" went out today so if you received one, make sure you fill it out and send it in. Only musicians on the Royal City Music Project list are allowed to vote for their peers. Good luck to all of this years nominees.

Just because everyone had such a blast at last years Hall Of Fame induction, "Lightning" Len Siemens and Ernie Neiderer have taken it upon themselves to organize a "HOF Night Out" on Saturday April 5. That's right, no pomp and circumstance, just a fun evening with music and old friends. Cruel Shoes Rockin Blues Band will be our host(s) with the "Who's Who" of local music legends making appearances throughout the night. There will be door prizes, a silent auction and more fun than we should be allowed. If you've been inducted into the HOF, you and a guest are absolutely FREE. If not, it's the best $10. a head you'll ever spend this year. In fact, why not call up your old band mates and get a table together. Order your tickets today by e mailing [email protected] with the heading "Tickets". Proceeds from this event benefit "Victoria's Rock & Roll, Music Hall Of Fame".
