Ithaca's 2007 Alternative Gift Fair is Now Accepting Applications Ithaca area not-for-profits are invited to apply for inclusion in the fourth annual Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair. One of the easiest and most engaging ways to raise money, the Fair will be held this year on Saturday, December 1, at the First Presbyterian Church, 315 North Cayuga Street, Ithaca.
Charities and not-for-profit service organizations based in Ithaca, Tompkins County, or with an organized presence in this community must submit applications by September 21 to be considered. A total of 30 organizations will be accepted. The Fair provides an opportunity for holiday shoppers to buy meaningful gifts for their friends and loved ones, while reducing the environmental impact of conventional shopping. Gifts start at $5 and range from items such as school supplies for disadvantaged kids to support for keeping our lakes and streams pollution-free. All donated money goes directly to the participating organizations according to what they earn at the Fair. Each year, the total donation has grown, and last year topped $20,000. For more information and an application to participate, visit the Fair's website at www.ithacaaltgiftfair.org. _______________________________________________ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
