Hi friends! Hope to see you at the party on Saturday. We'd like you
to know about some other CSC stuff: volunteer opportunities and
upcoming events at various places. Though we are currently "in
exile," we're continuing our programming.

> The volunteer opportunity at the LoveFest (see below) should net
> CSC about $75 per volunteer -- this is a fast way for us to really
> add to our moving fund, and because we had so much to put into
> storage, we really need those funds now! If you've been thinking,
> "Gosh, if I had an extra 75 bucks, I'd write CSC a check..." -- now
> you can skip the checkbook! And as Sister Kitty points out, if you
> bring your friends, you'll have a fun afternoon with them while you
> help LoveFest... and us.
>
> Before I go, let me thank all the wonderful community spaces that
> have picked up CSC events or indicated their willingness to do so
> -- we could NOT manage to keep rolling during this difficult
> transition without them: Jon Sims Center, CounterPulse, The LGBT
> Center, The Citadel, Eros, CellSpace, Shotwell Studios, Good
> Vibrations... and any others who pitch in in the next month or two.
>
> Thanks from CSC! Happy Folsom Month!

> where we present the monies raised for the charities.
>
> You should have a great attitude, be reasonably outgoing. and be
