THINK GLOBALLY, RAFFLE LOCALLY!
On Tuesday, January 18, to raise money for tsunami relief, we'll be 
raffling off great gifts donated by West Philadelphia businesses. We'll 
have live drawings for everything from haircuts and meals to dog toys 
and sunglasses. Plus, we got a bake sale. Plus, we got live music.

Now all we need is you!
Here's how it'll work: we'll have separate drawings for dozens of 
gifts. Tickets are just $1 (12 for $10, 25 for $20), so buy as many as 
you want and bet them on the stuff you like. The more you buy, the 
better your chance to win! We'll have gift certificates for restaurant 
meals and services, plus original art, music, and crafts.

We'll have live music from the Acoustic League of Justice, DJ Near and 
more, and mystery guests to surprise and delight. And all on a Tuesday 
night! What else do you have to do? Come join us and help us raise what 
we can for the people who lost so much.

THANKS A MILLION!
