Break out the banana combs and fire up those curling irons!
Valentine's Day is upon us!

It's time once again for the 8th annual People's Prom. It's the prom you never had in high school. It's a radical, community-oriented, anti-capitalist, queer, cross-dressing, gender bending, bike loving, slow dancing, big dress wearing, good time. And it's a fundraiser for groups organizing toward affordable housing and/or in opposition to
the 2010 Olympics.

Volunteer!
Don't just come to The People's Prom – be a part of The People's Prom.

We need people to volunteer in the following areas:
Positions:
Door: Greet the kids, take their tickets.
Coat check: Be the first to glimpse the unveiling of hot prom outfits.
Chaperones: Keep the peace, secure the vibe, make sure couples aren't
dancing too close.
Bar: Serve booze, keep people happy. Serving It Right preferred.
Spin The Bottle: A giant spin the bottle wheel, with you as cupid!
Clean up: Help us get our damage deposit back.
Pizza provided for the clean up crew! Also indicate if you can help with set up.

Your night will not be entirely taken up with prom responsibilities.
You can volunteer for as long you like, but we'd like you to commit
for a minimum of 60 minutes on the night itself. There'll be plenty of
time for dancing and smooching after.

As a volunteer, you will get in free, revolutionize Valentine's Day,
have the satisfaction of being a part of something wonderful, and get
laid for sure.

The People's Trust Fund
All proceeds raised from the People's Prom are put into the People's
Trust Fund which is then given away to groups working in the community
for social change. Each year a particular cause is chosen that the
money will be raised for. This year any groups organizing toward
affordable housing and/or in opposition to the 2010 Olympics are
eligible for the funds.

Here's where the money has gone in the past:

2004: Resistance against welfare cuts in BC
