Perhaps it is the huge wine & tapas party we are hosting Friday night. I will be getting up in front of friends, neighbors and total strangers to ask for donations to fund a local parcel tax campaign. Wanna join us*?
Maybe the red hair will make me bolder. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not afraid to ask for money (I’ve done this over and over in past philanthropic efforts) but these are sensitive economic times and it’s hard to get worked up over postage and printing (which is essentially what we are raising money for; I’m doing all the graphic design pro bono). But mailers are needed in order to secure a two-thirds majority when it comes to a vote. So here we go…
Symbolically, of course, the red hair means our (CA) schools are in the RED. Desperate times call for desperate measures, folks. So if I’m willing to give up the perks of being a blonde just to make a point*, what can you do to support quality education in California?
*If you’re local (BA) and possess a good heart and a checkbook, email me!
**I’m kidding. It was just time for a change and my brain on the CLEAN cleanse is a strange entity. I HAD to listen to that inner voice at the hair salon today!
