Hi Lovely Cast and VDay DC Alumni!

Nikki and I are your 2013 Fundraising Committee co-chairs and we wanted to reach out to you about some upcoming FUNdraising events for VDAY DC 2013.

This Thursday is your first chance to get you and your friends involved before we even get to our amazing production of the Vagina Monologues. After you read all about Laughing Vaginas, keep scrolling down to read about the SongRise concert next Tuesday (February 12th).

And don't forget to take a look at the VDAY DC 2013 calendar, so that you can keep track of all of this vaginal wonder. (http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=cm9zaWVlbWF0aWFzQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ)

HI All, We still need 1 more volunteer to bring cash tomorrow night - If you are attending and can bring $1's (20-30) it would be greatly appreciated! 

All cash - will be returned to you at the end of the night (once we're done collecting $$).
