Traction

2006 has been a great year, and Traction’s gift to our community is an afternoon / evening of fun at our annual throw-down this Saturday starting at 5pm:

RSVP now:
http://evite.com/app/publicUrl/festivus@gettraction.org/festivus2006

We’ll have some nibbles for you and a free drink for everyone. Even better, you’ll get
- fun-making with other local progressives
- incredible holiday shopping values in our silent (and live) auction
- fabulous prizes
- the satisfaction of supporting a great cause

All for the low, low price of a suggested $5-10 donation!

New Festivities for 2006:
- a photo booth
- a crafty-crafts booth
- a feats of strength area where you can compete for fabulous prizes in hula-hooping, arm-wrestling, DDR, or lightning rounds of Boggle
- maybe even have a psychic who’ll tell your New Year’s fortune…

Can you think of a more subversive way to partake in the holiday spirit?

The Festivus auction has something for everyone, including…
an ipod nano, chocolate, babysitting, petsitting, an autographed copy of Obama’s new book, massage, ringside seats at the state legislature, movie tix, theater tix, yoga, a tour of WUNC and The Story, a pregnancy belly casting!, cooking lessons, surfing lessons, meeting facilitation services, fine art (including a Haitian painting), hair cuts, hair products, a week in the mountains, and gift certificates to Magnolia Grill, Blue Corn, and Locopops!

Plus much, much more! Like Quality Time with some of your favorite Tractivists and cheap stuff too, like a night out with me…

We’re starting at 5pm and the auction starts to wrap up at 7pm, so YOU can spend some quality time with 100 or so of your closest Tractivist friends and then head to another party — but why would you?

If you haven’t RSVPed yet, don’t wait. Do it now:

Hasta pronto, Lanya
