May 24th: Memorial Day Weekend Spectacular with FoOP!

WHEN: SAT., May 24th // 07:00 PM ~ 09:00 PM
WHERE: Red & Black Cafe, 400 SE 12th Ave.
ADMISSION: $10 at the door

Ah, the Memorial Day weekend. It’s the unofficial start of summertime in Cascadia. Let’s celebrate the arrival of the sun, and celebrate our community.

And this event is part of the Friends of Occupy Portland’s first-ever Spring Pledge Drive, aimed at raising $7,000 to bring us to a sound and stable financial standing that would empower us to engage in more strategic and long-term sustainable activities to continue and further the work that started with Occupy Portland nearly three years ago.

This festive event features live performers like Benjamin Blake and “Whaling Whales,” a participatory talent show, as well as a silent auction. Your food and drink purchases will directly contribute to the financial needs of our neighbor and ally Red & Black Cafe!

If we want an auction, we’ll need valuables to auction off! So, we are gladly accepting your donations for the event. Items are accepted at our Office this Tuesday/Thursday 1 PM ~ 5 PM and Wednesday 11 AM ~ 2 PM. (any other hours by appointment). Space is limited, so no large items, please.

Finally, talent entrants are also encouraged!

This and more all happening Saturday, May 24th. (the evening of March Against Monsanto!) Come celebrate!

Can’t make it to the concert? Donate online with the “Donate” button on the upper-left corner of this page!
