Dear Colleagues,

In celebration of our 25th Anniversary as Vancouver's most arresting experience, we invite you to attend the Bootleggers' Ball, our Prohibition-themed fundraiser inspired by our ever-popular "Sins of the City" walking tours.

Put on your best pinstriped suit or flapper dress and join us at the Biltmore Cabaret on April 8, 2011 for an evening of music, Vaudeville, burlesque and perhaps even a little bathtub gin.

The evening's entertainment includes: 

    * The Creaking Planks - http://creakingplanks.com/
    * The Vaudevillians - http://www.thevaudevillians.com/
    * as well as the unique talents of Lola Frost, Darla DeVine and Lacey L'Amour

Also, thanks to the generous contributions of our many community friends, including Rocky Mountaineer Vacations, 2 Chefs and a Table, Big Lou’s Butcher Shop, Les Faux Bourgeois, The Vancouver Aquarium, Harbour Cruises, Grouse Mountain, Pandora Jewelery, Tour Guys, Trialto Wines, Axiom Salon, Bard on the Beach, Granville Island Beer, The Pourhouse and Sean Heather Restaurant Group, you'll find some amazing items in our Silent Auction. We'll also be handing out awards for the best dressed and have a few other surprises planned for the evening.

Tickets for the event are $40 each and are available at http://www.bootleggersball.ca or in person at the Vancouver Police Museum (240. E Cordova Street, Vancouver). Since the Biltmore can only accomodate 320 people, we expect the event to sell out quickly.

If you're unable to attend but would still like to support us, you can become a member of the Vancouver Police Historical Society or provide us with a cash donation. (Since it's out 25th Anniversary in April, we'll consider it an early birthday present...)
