CCCO supporters: please invite friends to our annual Fun-Raiser!

[Jeff Brown]

Hi Friends of CCCO,

On behalf of our Board of Trustees and planning team*, we are looking forward to our 3rd annual CCCO Fun-Raiser in about 11 days -- Saturday, October 25, 2014.

[* The planning team includes Linda O'Connor, Karla Wright, Pat De Silva, Tom Carlisi and me]

I created an announcement here:

This is a great opportunity to invite friends or family to check out our organization in an informal setting, and also to generate support for our work in the community... not to mention it's our biggest social gathering of the year!

I wonder if each of you would be willing to invite a few friends and/or family members to the event?

If so, I have included a sample email below that you can use or modify as you see fit... but it's something to get your wheels turning on spreading the word.

Would you be open to forwarding this sometime in the next 2-3 days?  Let me know if there's anything that I can do to help, and thanks in advance for your support!
