Real Change is phony change

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Ain't that the truth! Ain't that the pits!



Koon,

Thank you for your offer to read a poem at the event.  However after checking with Tim, we have to decline as the program is very full and we do not have the capacity to add anymore speakers.

Subject: McGinn is in: Register now for your free Real Change breakfast ticket.

Dear Koon,

Believe it or not, there are still hot spots available at the 16th Annual Real Change breakfast, just a week away! 

It's turning out to be the place to be September 30th- Mayor Mike McGinn is joining in as a special guest speaker.  And the guest list is getting longer and longer.  Confirmed guests include Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, Pete Holmes, City Attorney, Larry Gossett from the King County Council; and City Council Members Nick Licata, Tim Burgess, Mike O'Brien and many other local heavy lifters. 

We never figured on the Real Change breakfast guest list reading like a Who's Who guide to Seattle political power but we could not be more pleased to attract broadbased, grassroots support for our work.  We want you to join in and register today.  Send a quick email to register@realchangenews.org in order to save your seat.  How much you ask?  No ticket price in advance.  Simply register now and show up prepared to make a personally significant investment in Real Change during our special ask.  We need 500 friends in the room to reach our goal of $100,000.  

More details:

Thursday, September 30^th

^{Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center}

^{7AM - Check-in and Networking} 

^{7:30AM - Program}

The breakfast, which will take place my 50th Birthday, will gather a handful of our oldest friends to recall highlights of our 16-year history as they roast me over medium-hot coals.  These include:

 

Nancy Guppy (emcee), comedienne, "Almost Live"

Joe Martin, Social Worker, Pike Place Medical Center

Peter Steinbrueck, former Seattle City Councilmember

Linda Weedman, King County Housing Authority

Ed McClain, 15-year U-District Real Change vendor

Jon Gould, Deputy Director, Children's Alliance

Vendors of the Year Mike Hall (Vendor at Elliot Bay Books) and Susan McRoy (Vendor at Madison Market) will be honored and celebrated as the 2010 Vendors of the year.  Finally, Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata will be honored as our 2010 Change Agent for his courageous, progressive, leadership for social justice on the City Council.

Concluding the event will be guests who are so special and so surprize, my staff isn't even letting me in on the secret.  All in all, it will be a lot of fun.  It would mean a lot if your would join us.  Remember, email register@realchangenews.org now to save your seat.

 

Thank you for your support and I hope to see you there.
