Any money raised will be going to the Canadian Cancer Society.  I have worked and volunteered for the CCS. I can tell you first hand they have many programs where money raised directly impacts the lives of of people fighting cancer. From helping supplement the cost of drugs patients need to providing them a place to stay when they need to travel to Halifax for treatments. The services they provide make a world of difference to the people they help.

For those interested in baking cupcakes, you can sign up until this Friday. There will be prizes awarded the best cupcakes including some swag from Johnny Cupcakes.

For those that just like to eat cupcakes, there is already a pretty good list of bakers signed up with most contributing multiple kinds of cupcakes. So take a walk this Sunday coming and stop in for some sweet lil’cakes!

Kudos to fellow sponsors for their support. The Hub is the venue for Cupcake Camp. While photographer Chelle Wootten will be snapping shots of all the edible goodness for the bakers and then folks enjoying their hard work during the event. Chelle also took pics for the poster and it was put together by one Isaac Hansen.

In case you cannot read the text on the poster, it says:

If you are looking to get in touch with anyone about the event you’ll be contacting Johanna Gerrits.

Hope to see you there!

So Sundays use to be the busiest day of the week at the Rock Garden. Since the New Year though they have been pretty hit or miss. No real clue why….I am kind of blaming Isaac…..though he really didn’t do anything…. But to try and get folks back in on Sundays, every hour booked on a Sunday in May counts as one entry in a draw for free jams to the end of the year [6 months of 1 free weekly 2h jam - free jams do not have to be used on Sundays].

All you have to do is book time on Sunday, make sure to use your full name or band name and you are entered. We will post the winner of the random draw the first week of June.

Saturdays have never been super busy, so we may start offering some deals on Saturdays as well too. Right now this is all an experiment so we will see what happens….. [many of you using Foursquare?]

Bookings can be made:

• In person at 2304 Hunter St.
• By phoning 404-7007
• Or emailing bookings@rockgardenjamspaces.com

If you are booking for Sunday May 2nd or after, leave a message or email us and we will be checking for messages periodically.

If you are looking for time while we are closed we apologize for any inconvenience.
We had to close due to a TV show filming in the hall above us.

Our hours and if we are closing for anything like this can be seen on our website at http://www.rockgardenjamspaces.com or on our Twitter feed at http://www.twitter.com/therockgarden [which also shows up on our website].

Thanks
Rob

Sometime this year we will be launching a redesigned site for the Rock Garden, our label [From Here To There Records] and another site.

Until then a Wordpress site will fill in just fine
