Fwd: carfree volunteers...time to party!

[Eleanor Blue]

Depavers, come celebrate our joint success! I hope you all can make it -- should be a fun chance to connect and re-connect with likeminded folks and future depavers.

Dear Towards Carfree Cities volunteers,

It's been a few months since the conference, and it's past due time to celebrate properly. All of your hard work and awesome dedication, on the big picture as well as the uncountable details, produced an incredibly successful event. Not only did the conference go smoothly from a logistical and hospitality perspective, but our big, some say crazy, ideals have gained serious traction. In short, we all deserve a big party.

Whether you attended lovingly to a single, well-chosen detail, took on a huge chunk of event planning to the detriment of your home and work life, or gave much-needed advice and comfort, please join us on

Sunday, October 19th from 3pm to 7pm at Steph's house:

705 N. Alberta St.
Portland, OR 97217

The event is pot luck for food; the conference budget still has enough vavoom to cover beer.

Free t-shirts for everyone. At around 5 we'll raffle off volunteer appreciation prizes (raffle might not be the best word, since no money will change hands). Bring your best thoughts and ideas about What Next for the carfree movement in Portland.

Feel free to bring significant others, friends, and future volunteers as well.
See you then!
Elly
