Event-based Calendar for the Fall

Hello KC ONE Campaigners:

This is a friendly disclaimer from your volunteer coordinator here in KC--this Fall, we will not be having regular volunteer meetings nor sending out regular emails. But we will be keeping our eyes peeled for opportunities to attend events where we can spread the word about the ONE Campaign. So, stay tuned for that and let us know if you have any ideas!
Have a great fall, and we will see you at our next campaign event.

One Art & Monday Meeting

-For those of you who remember our One Art show which displayed at the Arts Incubator in February, and for those of you who missed it--a portion of that show is on display at the Coffee Girls Coffeeshop at 310 Southwest Blvd in the Crossroads District. One Art is a collaboration of art work inspired by extreme poverty and AIDS. It is intended to raise awareness about the emergency abroad and connect individuals with the ONE Campaign to make poverty history. Please stop by the Coffee Girls this month and have a look!

-The third week of August, ONE members all over the country will be visiting the district offices of their members of Congress. If you would like to help set this up and/or be a part of the visit, please reply to this email expressing your interest.

-This Monday, August 7, please join us for our local volunteer meeting at Jacob's Well Church, 1617 W. 42nd St., KC, MO at 7pm. If you intend to volunteer locally in any capacity throughout the fall, this is a very important meeting to attend! See you then.
Thank you!
