SOCIAL: NEED: You! (for SFLCV Art Contest/Fundraiser NEXT TUESDAY)

[Amandeep Jawa]

Hey folks -

Next week is the annual art contest / fundraiser for the SF League of  
Conservation Voters - my favorite general purpose environmental  
organization.  Board members include many SOCIAL folks, including Tom  
Radulovich, Adrian Cotter, Cat Rauschuber, Michelle Jesperson, Susan  
King, Dan Nguyen-Tan and Ruby Pap - so you know we GOOD PEEPS!  The  
SFLCV is where the environmental movement meets local politics.  We do  
candidate endorsements (after a lengthy interview process), put out a  
slate mailer during election cycles, and do a lot of lobbying at City  
Hall.

The fundraiser is a fun event with great environmental themed art from  
local artists & you get to help us judge the winner.  You'll also hear  
a little about us and get to hobnob with various local politicos and  
folks.  Your contributions go directly to our work - we have no staff  
- we're all volunteer!

It is next Tuesday night ( a week from today!) at 111 Minna & I hope:

WHAT YOU CAN DO!:
1) SInce this is a fundraiser,  the BEST thing you could do is donate  
& attend - any amount is great, but we also have special recognition  
for "Street Stewards" ($100), "Neighborhood Protectors" ($250) & "City  
Champions" ($500)
2) The next best thing you could do is attend & donate at the door  
($10-$25 sliding scale)
3) Also we are still taking art submissions for the contest - so if  
you have anything you'd like to submit, email me ASAP


THANKS
