Ellen takes Concordia out for Pizza!
Feb 27, 2010
Ellen Young, Green Party of Manitoba (GPM) candidate for the Concordia By-election, is announcing an opportunity for the residents of the riding to meet and greet with Ellen, enjoy some complimentary pizza, face-painting and entertainment.
"My campaign team and I have been finding that many voters still remain undecided. We want to give them the opportunity to meet with me, in hopes that I may earn their votes!" exclaimed Ms. Young.
The event will take place at Spanky's Restaurant, 1111 Munroe Ave (Corner of Panet and Munroe). This Saturday, February 27th, from 5 PM until 8:30PM. Come early, and enjoy the musical stylings of Doug Mymryk. Doug was so moved after meeting Ellen, that he composed a campaign song, "The Number One Choice This Time," which can be found on Youtube.
Media is also welcome. To arrange an interview, please contact campaign manager, James Beddome, (204)990-5195, or leave a message with GPM Press Secretary, Caitlin McIntyre, (204)999-4064.
