HOWL 2011: City Repair’s Halloween Benefit Party 

October 21, 2011 by: Michael Cook

Greetings Everybody!

The time is near! The dreary season is settling in but we’ll keep our spirits high. Every October for the last 8 years, City Repair’s Earth Day Celebration Co-creator, Eric Steindler, and an amazing group of organizers put together a fantastic Halloween celebration and fundraiser: HOWL.

This one night goes such a long way to support our placemaking efforts around the city. This year we’ve accomplished more than ever, connecting neighbors and communities through our Earth Day and Village Building Convergence placemaking activities. We were able to extend our support to 30+ neighborhood placemaking projects this year during the VBC. This could not happen without your support…both volunteer efforts and donations.

Attending events like HOWL makes it possible for us to continue to provide extensive support for free to any community in need. It’s pretty great that we can go to a party and simultaneously support community empowerment and sustainability.

If you haven’t already done so, please consider grabbing a ticket. And to everyone, whether you can attend or not, spread the word to all your friends! Pass this email on, Share the event on facebook, tweet it into the twittersphere, or speak in an uncharacteristically loud voice at your local cafe about how awesome the event is going to be (making sure to repeat key information such as location and time). Not only will it help us out so wonderfully much, but it will make the party better too!

So grab your ticket ahead of time for the presale discount and make sure to tell all your friends! Here are the details:
