we need you...

We have begun planning a community shopping night at Just Creations. This fair-trade store offers local shoppers products from artists around the developing world, including a few products from Ethiopia. All sales help provide a fair wage for the artisans. I can personally testify that many of the products available make wonderful Christmas gifts.

FACE2FACE will sponsor the 12/02/09 community shopping night from 6 PM to close. Just Creations will donate 15% of all sales made during this time to Arise for Children in support of Ethiopian projects. (More to come about which project(s) we will be supporting specifically.)

So what can you do? Contact me for print materials promoting this event. We would like to have each member of FACE2FACE to announce this event in their places of worship, work places, and to as many friends and family members we can contact between now and then. The idea is to get as many shoppers as possible out to the store this evening. Also, we will have an informational table at the event about FACE2FACE and Arise for Children. Please let me know if you are interested in making refreshments for the table, or in dedicating a portion of your evening to working the table.
