 Donate to our 'Let Washington Speak' Silent Auction Dear Friends, We are eagerly anticipating our 2009 Champions of Democracy Award Dinner on Tuesday, October 13. Each year, our silent auction features exciting packages and prizes that generate critical funding for DC Vote's work. Can you or someone you know donate an item to our 'Let Washington Speak' Silent Auction? Interested, but not sure what you can offer? Here are a few successful items from past events: - Dinner party or lunch with a famous Washingtonian (Past examples include Manny Acta, manager of the Washington Nationals, elected officials or performers)
- Tickets to a local sporting, theater or arts event
- Gift certificates for meals at quality restaurants
With the historic Senate passage of the DC Voting Rights Act in February, the next few years represent the opportunity of a lifetime to celebrate a big victory for the residents of Washington, DC. Help sustain the movement for DC voting rights by making a donation to the silent auction. Respond to this e-mail with your in-kind contribution or with a suggestion of someone you know to ask for a donation. The dinner, to be held at the new W Hotel, will attract more than 400 elected officials, community leaders and major donors from the DC metro area. Contributors to the silent auction will be recognized on our Web site and in the silent auction booklet that will be distributed the night of the event.
