If you've never been to Hollywood 2003, I highly recommend it. A fabulous evening - the largest Oscars party in the country - right here in Minneapolis. The money raised goes to a good cause as well. District 202 has been struggling to support it's HIV prevention program with the recent loss of MDH funding. Even condoms have been in short supply. As a long time volunteer with the youth of District 202, I can vouch for the good work they do. I hope to see many members from the MPLS list at the party!

Greetings!
Hollywood 2003, the Twin Cities official Oscar Night� America party, will once again continue its tradition of being the oldest and largest Academy Awards party in America. I've just received my first batch of tickets for this event, and I hope you all are willing to come out and support District 202's HIV Prevention and Education program. District 202 receives 75% of the value of each ticket I sell. This event is more important than ever this year since District 202 lost its HIV Prevention funding from the Minnesota Department of Health beginning in January 2003. (Other organizations benefiting from this event are the Minnesota AIDS Project, Open Arms of Minnesota, and Planned Parenthood of Minnesota/South Dakota.) The date is Sunday, March 23rd and begins at 6:30 pm at the lovely Historic State Theater in downtown Minneapolis.
Come on! it's a fun event, and gives you a chance to wear those fancy clothes that most of us here in Minnesota have stashed away "for a special occasion." Well, this is it! So dust off those tuxes, shine up those shoes, dig out those four inch heels, and get ready to make a grand entrance! Join 2,500 other dazzlingly attired attendees and watch the 75th annual Academy Awards� on a movie theater screen, indulge in scrumptious desserts compliments of dozens of the finest Twin Cities restaurants, sip coffee courtesy of Sister Sludge, applaud live entertainment by Twin Cities performers, and bid on exceptional silent auction items you can't live without.
With celebrity emcees Harris Faulkner and Rusty Gatenby from Channel 5 Eyewitness News, and Miss Richfield from, well, ...Richfield, the event promises to rival the glamour of the 75th annual Academy Awards presentation in Los Angeles.
Tickets are $30 in advance ($35 at the door). Like I said, District 202 receives 75% of the value of each ticket I sell and we need every dollar! You can make checks payable to MAP and write District 202 in the memo line. (And if you want to buy a ticket but don't want to go yourself, consider sending a youth from District 202! For information about this, just reply to me at this address and I can process your sponsorship donation. My e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]) You can also check out http://dist202.org/special/hollywood.html for more event details.
Reply to this email and let me know how many tickets you'd like, and I'll send them your way (along with any additional information you need about parking etc.) And thanks for your support of District 202!
