Dear family, friends and supporters,<\/p>\n

In 1975, members of the Ming Sun Benevolent Society gathered outside their building at 439 Powell Street for a 50th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

Friends of 439 invites you to celebrate new beginnings and the Year of the Horse by joining us, along with members of the Ming Sun Benevolent Society, in re-creating the above photograph. We will take a multi-community, multi-generational photo to honour the building\u2019s 125 years of history, the families and communities connected to it, and those who have come together from all walks of life to support its restoration. All are welcome.<\/p>\n

WHEN: Sunday, February 2, 2014<\/strong> –\u00a0 Gather at 12:30pm, photograph will be taken at 1:00pm.<\/p>\n

WHERE: In front of the Ming Sun-Uchida Building, 439 Powell Street<\/strong>, Vancouver (across from Oppenheimer Park).<\/p>\n

In December 2013, the building was almost demolished, but thanks to a groundswell of support from people from all walks of life – including Chinese Canadian, Japanese Canadian, indigenous, low-income, arts, heritage, and housing groups \u2013 the building still stands and there is a chance that together, we can save it.<\/p>\n

To donate to the ongoing restoration efforts, sign our petition, and for more info:<\/p>\n
