When: Friday, February 1st, 5-10pm.
Where: Concordia Ballroom, 1129 La Crosse St., La Crosse
Why: GROWING OUR PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY

Please put FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1st on your calendars RIGHT NOW! That's the night of the 4th Annual Coulee Progressives' State of the Union at the Concordia Ballroom, 1129 La Crosse Street, in La Crosse.  We will host a Community Information & Action Fair from 5 - 10 pm.

That evening we will focus on GROWING OUR PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY.  It will be a chance to network, learn about local progressive activities, meet candidates, share ideas, and be inspired.  We all know that 2008 is an important year for national politics... it's also an important year for our local, growing progressive community.  Please plan to join us!

Donations will be accepted on a sliding scale of $2 to $20 to help cover costs, and to raise funds for the La Crosse Peace & Justice Coalition's bio-diesel bus and other progressive causes in the community.  We'll also be collecting non-perishable food items for the WAFER food pantry.

If you would like to display information or merchandise, we'd love to have your participation!  That is the main focus of this year's event!  We are suggesting $10 for a half-table where you can display information or merchandise. Table setup is 4 - 5 pm. Please contact Cathy Van Maren at cvmaren@mwt.net or call 788-4039 to reserve your space today.

We expect this event to draw a crowd. A simple meal will be provided (including vegan & vegetarian options).  You're welcome to bring a shared dessert to the event.
