SUMMARY:Hullabaloo Poetry Slam Round 2!
DESCRIPTION:Every team in Hullabaloo will perform in one bout this afternoon\, either the first or second slate of prelims. All teams and audience members are encouraged to attend the entire evening. The poems will be judged by five random members of the audience who are not directly affiliated with any of the poets or schools. They will give each poem a score between 0 and 10. We will drop the high and low scores\, and each poem will receive a total score out of 30. Each bout has four rounds (three rounds of solo poems and a mandatory group piece round) so the highest possible team score is 120.\nVPL Central Branch: Alice MacKay & Peter Kaye-Alma VanDusen Rooms\nFIRST BOUTS:\nDoors at 1:00 PM\nStart at 1:30 PM\nSECOND BOUTS:\nDoors at 3:00 PM\nStart at 3:30 PM\nFREE\nThe Vancouver Poetry House respectfully recognizes that our series events take place on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-waututh)\, and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) nations. We recognize that colonial violence led to the creation of Vancouver\, and how that allows our organization to exist. We aim to always be cognizant of who is represented on our stages\, and to do what we can to reach out to communities who are underrepresented thereupon.\nACCESSIBILITY:\nThe VPL Central Branch has elevators to reach the downstairs rooms where the Hullabaloo events are being held. There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms. For more details\, refer to their list of facilities (http://www.vpl.ca/location/central-library).\nThis event is a scent-reduced space.

SUMMARY:Hullabaloo Poetry Slam Round 1!
DESCRIPTION:Every team in Hullabaloo will perform in one bout this evening\, either the first or second slate of prelims. All teams and audience members are encouraged to attend the entire evening. The poems will be judged by five random members of the audience who are not directly affiliated with any of the poets or schools. They will give each poem a score between 0 and 10. We will drop the high and low scores\, and each poem will receive a total score out of 30. Each bout has four rounds (three rounds of solo poems and a mandatory group piece round) so the highest possible team score is 120.\nVPL Central Branch: Alice MacKay & Peter Kaye-Alma VanDusen Rooms\nFIRST BOUTS:\nDoors at 6:00 PM\nStart at 6:30 PM\nSECOND BOUTS:\nDoors at 8:00 PM\nStart at 8:30 PM\nFREE\nThe Vancouver Poetry House respectfully recognizes that our series events take place on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-waututh)\, and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) nations. We recognize that colonial violence led to the creation of Vancouver\, and how that allows our organization to exist. We aim to always be cognizant of who is represented on our stages\, and to do what we can to reach out to communities who are underrepresented thereupon.\nACCESSIBILITY:\nThe VPL Central Branch has elevators to reach the downstairs rooms where the Hullabaloo events are being held. There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms. For more details\, refer to their list of facilities (http://www.vpl.ca/location/central-library).\nThis event is a scent-reduced space.

SUMMARY:Spoken Word Jamboree

However\, this is a public event: you don’t need to be on a participating team to attend! So don’t be shy – come on down and help us start this festival right!\n6PM-8PM / VPL Central Branch / Alice MacKay Room / Free\nThe Vancouver Poetry House respectfully recognizes that our series events take place on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-waututh)\, and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) nations.

DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, April 7 2019 VPH is holding an Extraordinary General Meeting of the membership (EGM) to discuss changes to the by-laws made\, and passed by\, the board of directors. \nThe reasons we have re-written the by-laws are: \n\nTo make it possible for people  who earn money on VPH stages to take part in the larger decision-making by being on the board of directors\nTo make it easier for the organization to keep up with the community’s needs\n\nIn order to finalize these changes\, we need people\, you\, to come out and vote! \nThere is also one small change made to the VPH constitution. It was made to bring it into line with point 1 above. \nThe agenda\, new by-laws and constitution are available as a single pdf here. As always\, the current by-laws are on the VPH website here. \nIn the new by-laws there are many mentions of the new VPH policy manual. All the materials made reference to in the new by-laws are already included\, but as with these kinds of documents\, the policy manual is in progress. At the meeting we will make all the relevant sections available\, and the whole will always be available to membership if these by-laws are ratified. \nIf you have any questions in advance of the meeting\, or would like more information\, please contact the board at admin@vancouverpoetryhouse.com. Also contact us if you would rather read the new by-laws on the Drive. We’ll send you a link. \nPlease note: under our current by-laws\, you must be a member to vote\, but you may purchase or renew your membership at the outset of the meeting. \nThe meeting will take place in the 5th floor\, W-Room which the City has allowed us to use free-of-charge for the purposes of this EGM.

SUMMARY:Extraordinary General Meeting | Sunday April 7\, 2pm | 111 W Hastings\, Fifth floor board room
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, April 7 2019 VPH is holding an Extraordinary General Meeting of the membership (EGM) to discuss changes to the by-laws made\, and passed by\, the board of directors. \nThe reasons we have re-written the by-laws are: \n\nTo make it possible for people  who earn money on VPH stages to take part in the larger decision-making by being on the board of directors\nTo make it easier for the organization to keep up with the community’s needs\n\nIn order to finalize these changes\, we need people\, you\, to come out and vote! \nThere is also one small change made to the VPH constitution. It was made to bring it into line with point 1 above. \nThe agenda\, new by-laws and constitution are available as a single pdf here. As always\, the current by-laws are on the VPH website here. \nIn the new by-laws there are many mentions of the new VPH policy manual. All the materials made reference to in the new by-laws are already included\, but as with these kinds of documents\, the policy manual is in progress. At the meeting we will make all the relevant sections available\, and the whole will always be available to membership if these by-laws are ratified. \nIf you have any questions in advance of the meeting\, or would like more information\, please contact the board at admin@vancouverpoetryhouse.com. Also contact us if you would rather read the new by-laws on the Drive. We’ll send you a link. \nPlease note: under our current by-laws\, you must be a member to vote\, but you may purchase or renew your membership at the outset of the meeting. \nThe meeting will take place in the 5th floor\, W-Room which the City has allowed us to use free-of-charge for the purposes of this EGM. The boardroom is located on the 5th floor of the same building where VPH has its offices: 111 W Hastings Street. \nThe meeting will start at 2PM and is scheduled to last until 4PM. \nNote: the first hour is business.
