Help the LP at Glen Allen Day
Last week I offered to match the first donation made on the LP of Henrico's new online donation page. I'm happy to report that Louis Gifford was the first with a $20 donation! We now have $40 for Glen Allen Day. However this is not enough to even cover the event fees (about $100), much less buy signs, literature, parade float, shirts, and other items. We need between $750--$1000 to make sure we have enough supplies for the event (and the good news is that anything left over we can use at future events).
On Tuesday at the Patrick Henry Supper Club, everything in the donation cup was for the LP of Henrico's table at Glen Allen Day. I offered to donate an extra $100 if the donation cup had at least $100 in it. I'm sorry to report, we didn't make that goal. In fact we still do not have enough to cover the event fees.
Glen Allen Day is the largest community festival in Henrico. Last year the Martin for Delegate campaign and the LP dominated Glen Allen Day. Even people working the other parties' tables were seen holding the campaign's hand fans. We can be sure the other parties will try to make sure we don't do it again. We must make sure we look as good if not better than the Democrats and Republicans. This may be the only time some people come into contact with the LP and we need to leave them with a good impression.
Because a Libertarian presence at Glen Allen Day is so important, I am going to make a 2nd offer. I will donate $100, if the LPHC receives at least $500 in donations in the next week. I'm posting this on the website on Tuesday Sept 5, so the closing date will be evening of Tuesday Sept 12. If everyone subscribed to the email list gave $20, this goal would be easily met.
To donate visit http://www.henricolp.org/donations.php or sent a check to:

Also in addition to needing money we still need volunteers. The following shifts are still open:
Saturday Sept 17
Parade (8:30-10:00am)
Table 1st Shift (10:00-1:00)
Table 2nd Shift (1:00-4:00)
We need at least 4 more people for the parade and 2 more people for each table shift.
Finally a big thanks to Steven Winner for providing his convertible for the parade and to George Marchenko for serving as the event coordinator. We also wish to thank the Glen Allen Ruritans for organizing Glen Allen Day.
