From countercorp-news at countercorp.org Wed Dec 31 18:58:10 2008 From: countercorp-news at countercorp.org (CounterCorp News and Events List) Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:58:10 -0800 Subject: [CounterCorp] The inevitable end-of-year appeal Message-ID: Dear CounterCorp supporters, Yes, it's that time of year -- the end of it. And thus time to look back on what we did this year, and what we're planning for next year. This year saw our third consecutive Anti-Corporate Film Festival, as well as the launch of our Corporation Watch (corporationwatch.org) e- mail list. Next year, we're moving the film festival to May -- a short five months away (!) -- and working on expanding Corporation Watch, taking the festival on the road (more details to come), and possibly launching a third program involving the stock market. To do all this, we need your help. CounterCorp is an all-volunteer organization -- no one, not even me, gets paid -- and we survive on contributions from supporters such as you, and from ticket sales at our film screenings. We are a *lean* organization with no fat, but lots of great ideas and a vision of a better future. So please consider making a last-minute, end-of-the-year, tax-deductible contribution to help us pay off the costs of the 2008 Festival, and ramp up for our fourth annual Festival in 2009! To make a contribution online, go to https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?id=695 and select CounterCorp from the drop-down menu. You can also send checks made out to CounterCorp to our office at 2017 Mission Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, 94110. We appreciate donations in any amount, and your ongoing support for what we -- we couldn't do any of it without you! Have a great beginning to the new year, John Wilner Director
