•1st Place: Best Restaurant to “Seal the Deal”
•1st Place: Best Fish / Shellfish

What can we say? Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now our hearts are glowing, too.

SUPPORT MOTHERS-TO-BE

If it seems like an eternity since you were in maternity clothes, here’s a chance to pass on your used mother-load wardrobe to local pregnant woman in need of assistance in covering their glorious expanding bellies.

Vancouver Native Health Society’s Sheway Program is collecting used maternity clothing for moms on the downtown East Side. Joe Fortes will be a drop-off location for the neighborhood.

So if you’re not planning on using those maternity togs anytime soon, consider passing them on. You can keep the memories – and those about to give birth can dress for gestational success. Just drop off your maternity clothes at Joe’s between May 5 and 9 and we’ll handle the rest.
