Hi Left Footers,

Please help spread the word and invite friends to this year’s Alternative Gift Fair on December 12th from 10am to 3pm at the Olympia Center. United Churches of Olympia generously hosts this annual event, where holiday "shoppers" give gifts of financial support for local charities instead of stuff. All the proceeds go to participating charities. Left Foot will be there. This can be a significant end of the year boost for our budget, and it's easy and fun! Just print out and post the flyer.

Thanks!
