$1,400 Raised at Monday's BBQ Fundraiser

We want to thank all those who donated to the BBQ 
fundraiser this past Monday - by selling and buying 
tickets and bringing friends and relatives, making food, 
taking a turn at the grill, pitching in to help with set up 
and clean up, and contributing to the fun and great 
conversation the whole day.  

We collected $1,400 in ticket sales and donations and 
we were able to pay the rent and begin to buy some 
books for coming events! 

We got a real sense of how fundraising is a very 
important way that people need to, can and DO come 
into the revolution. Thanks to all!

Contact us to help expand Friends of Revolution Books 
and plan monthly fundraisers for this vital center for 
the movement for revolution and great bookstore.
