Yes tonight I just got an email from the folks at V-Day
and sign-ups for V-Day 2005 events is ready to go!
For those who don't know what V-Day is all about, it
is a global movement to stop violence against women
and girls. Earlier this year I had organized V-Day in
my hometown, featuring a performance of Eve Ensler's
"The Vagina Monologues" by local volunteers, including
myself. I will never forget that experience, and since
I'm now considered to be "seasoned", hopefully we'll
have a jump start on things for '05!
For those who are interested in organizing a V-Day
event in your community (it usually takes place in
February or March----we had ours in March which was
a lot easier esp. w/ the unpredictable weather around
where we live), I strongly suggest that you visit:
www.vday.org
and there should be somewhere on there to sign up
to organize an event. "Worldwide campaigns" can now
do TWO performances, and "College campaigns" (which
take place only on a college or university campus) still
have three performances. The money raised from the
performances goes to local agencies and groups that
help women and girls affected by violence---and a
percentage of funds raised will go to the V-Day "project"
(this year 2004 our group donated some of the proceeds
to the cause of the women in Juarez, Mexico)...for 2005
I am not sure what it is.
I have been trying to get onto the site but I have a feeling
its getting too many hits, so I will keep trying.
If you know anyone who might be interested please pass
this info on to them, such as the V-Day website.
I am so excited about this!
