[CUADPUpdate] LAST CALL for the printed Sponsor List!

Greetings All!

With just two weeks to go until the start of the 13th Annual Fast & 
Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty at the US Supreme Court, the 
deadline for the printed brochure that we hand out to thousands of 
passers-by is upon us.  THURSDAY, June 15 at 8am is the deadline for 
those wishing to be listed as sponsors in the printed brochure.

All Sponsorships received to-date are listed below.  Please note that 
individuals as well as organizations are invited to participate as 
co-sponsors.  Individuals giving at $36 or more will receive an 
official "Starvin' for Justice '06" t-shirt!

The budget of the Fast & Vigil usually ends up being between $4000 
and $5000.  This year it is a bit higher because:

* we no longer have the "at-cost" printer that we have been using 
since 1999, and

* the F&V this year includes two weekend days, meaning more hours 
that we have to pay the security guard costs for access to the United 
Methodist Church Building when the building is closed (they give us 
the space for free, but we have to pay the extra security fees).

ALSO - We need to raise extra money this year in order to put down 
the reservation deposit for housing space for next year, so we don't 
end up with no community housing again, as is the case this year, 
AND, with the OUTSTANDING roster of speakers (see 
http://www.abolition.org/starvin13.html) this year, we are hoping to 
have a professional crew digitally film and record the evening 
teach-ins so that others can hear these important messages.  Even 
with the cost of the professional crew salary and equipment being 
donated (will confirm by Thursday am!), we still need to pay 
transportation, housing, food, and tape costs - that alone is 
anticipated at more than $2,000.

To do all of the above we need $7,000 to $9,000.  Currently in hand 
or known to be on the way:  $3,200.

SO - will you help?

$36 or more gets you the t-shirt.

Our largest single individual contributor thus far came in at $500.

Please give what you can!

Please join the co-sponsors listed below by visiting 
https://www.compar.com/donation/donateform.html - and be sure to 
indicate that your support is for the Fast & Vigil and let us know 
how to list you!

If you wish to mail a check, please use the form that you will find 
at http://www.abolition.org/starvin13.sponsors06.html, but also send 
an e-mail to <aac at abolition.org> so that we know it is coming and can 
list you in the printed brochure.

If you are seeing this after 8am on June 15, please give anyway, as 
we can always list you on the web page!

Thanks.
