Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I hope life is going well back east. While Chicago is a great place
and I've been lucky enough to be traveling for EPHAS and miss most
of the bad weather, there's no place like home. Also, I get terribly
lost in this city because I do not have the Pru as a landmark to
tell me where I am at all times. Otherwise things are great.<br>
<br>
I'm writing to you because you have all shown much appreciated
interest and support for EPHAS over its short lifetime and it is
thanks to you that we have experienced such great success already.
We currently have eleven locations throughout Cambodia, Rwanda,
Haiti and the DR running our workshops and are gaining exposure
through galleries and other displays around the country. We are
beginning to hold exhibitions and bar nights, the latter of which is
where I hope you will come in. <br>
<br>
As you can see on the attached invitation and on the one that you
will soon receive once I get the mailing all set up, we are looking
to hold a bar night at Dillon's on Boylston on April 15th and in
order to make it a huge success, I need your help. This is going to
be a very low pressure event--some raffles and images displayed but
otherwise, just an excuse to get together and tip some back in
EPHAS' name. No tickets, just a "suggested donation" for those
willing and able. Where you come in is I need help driving people to
the event. Starting over a month out, if you get the information out
to all of your friends, colleagues and family members, I think that
we could have quite a crowd on our hands. <br>
<br>
Being a new organization, it does take a few attempts and reminders
to get people out in support so whatever I can do to help facilitate
bringing your respective groups into it, I am all ears. Most of our
invites/rsvp will be electronic but if you think that physical
invitations will help get certain peoples' attention then let me
know and I will send them to you. Phone calls, emails, brochures,
one-sheets...we have it all ready to be deployed! If you can get me
peoples' emails directly then I can get them excited as well and
make less work for you. <br>
<br>
Not to over complicate things but for people who you think would be
interested in EPHAS but not up for a bar night, we are having a
brunch on Sunday the 17th in Cambridge for some new donors and
people who are interested in getting more involved. <br>
<br>
This is all to say, simply, I would so so so much appreciate if you
could get this out to your networks and help make this night a
success. It will often take more than a single mention of the event
or our organization, but not much more. If you go with the tag line,
"They implement photography workshops in schools, orphanages and
medical facilities all over the world to allow participants to
document their own lives instead of relying on the the general media
to do an incomplete job of it," people usually want to hear more. <br>
<br>
Thank you all so much for your interest and support thus far--we
really could not be where we are without each of you. I look forward
to hearing from you and grabbing some drinks when I'm back in the
Boston area for a solid chunk of time in April for these events,
school appearances and more. <br clear="all">
