<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Your $25 ticket is for an open beer and wine bar and a chance to schmooze with information professionals from all around the NW. PLUS we will have tabletop games courtesy of a local game store Guardian Games. Put some FUN in Fundraising with EveryLibrary. </span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">In 2013, every $1 we spent on campaigns helped libraries secure $1,450 at the ballot box. So, your $25 ticket could help us secure up to $36,250 for libraries in 2014 or more. Help us do our great work and you'll have a great time!</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">As you may have heard the daytime event we were doing this in collaboration with, </span><a href="http://portland.infocamp.org/" target="_blank" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Infocamp PDX</a><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">, has been cancelled. We are really sorry about this, but have decided to go forward with our fundraiser anyway. So, all proceeds from this event will go towards EveryLibrary and some Infocamp PDX cost recovery. Let's party for a good cause!</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
