Spaghetti Dinner
Benefit for Youth Against War and Racism
6:00pm
Friday, December 14th!
Walker Community United Methodist Church
3104 16th Ave S, Minneapolis
(One block from Lake St and Bloomington Ave)
Dear friends and supporters of YAWR,
As you probably know, Youth Against War and Racism is building for a metro-wide student walkout on November 16th. This event will be a great opportunity for young people around the Twin Cities to protest and get active against the occupation of Iraq and military recruitment in schools.
However, this event is costing us A LOT of money. We’ve already printed thousands of fliers that have been passed out in area high schools, as well as making buttons, posters and banners to advertise. On top of that, we have the expenses of putting on the event itself, paying for our full-time activist Tyrus, as well as the other day to day costs of running our organization.
YAWR doesn’t get any big donations from corporations, and we definitely do not have the money to match the over inflated budget of the Pentagon. We rely exclusively on donations from our supporters to keep going. In other words, we are counting on YOU!
That’s why we are organizing a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser on December 1st. This will be a great way to support the work we do, and eat some delicious food prepared by youth activists! It will also be a great opportunity to hear from students involved in the anti-war movement, and we also plan on providing some entertainment as well.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to against.war@gmail.com as soon as possible! Tickets range from $10-$100, and please let us know how many people you’re bringing with you so we can ensure we’ve got enough food!
Thanks again for your support, and we’ll see you on December 1st!
