Dear Friend,
It takes many things to build a movement - cash, commitment, comraderie - are three that come immediately to mind. Oh, and did I mention fun? It takes fun to build a movement too.
Next Saturday, March 7, we will bring all of that together in a party where we can all
* help raise cash that is needed to keep us going strong
* deepen our commitment and resolve to keeping the predatory slots industry away from our precious neighborhoods
* enjoy the comraderie of good and interesting people
* have fun!
*Cover charge: Sliding scale pay what you can ($5 - $20 suggested minimum)
