Diamonds & Pearls; Support the Dyke March!

The next two Ships parties are sure to be a blast.
SF Ships has a theme this time: dress up in yr gaudiest Diamonds & Pearls, or just come out and dance to beats  from DJ's Durt, Black, and special guest Oliver.
Oakland Ships is a benefit for the Dyke March.  Check out info below.
Tell your friends, bring a date, and come out to one or both!


For more info on why the Dyke March needs help, check out this link:

The Dyke March needs funds to pay for permits that the City has typically waived. Now with the "economic crisis" (where is all that money goin? hmmm....), the city wants the the organizers of the Dyke March to pay-up and the group has been getting less of the generous private funding that they have come to depend on.

While we all know the Dyke March could happen without permits, its also important to have an event that is safe for people who don't necessarily want to risk arrest just to come out to the park, bring their kids, ride their bike, get drunk, protest, enjoy performers, and/or flash their boobs. Lets make sure there's port-a-potties for everyone to use and that it can continue to be an accessible event for all dykes, everywhere and our friends to come and enjoy.

Also, the Dyke March is looking for volunteers, so if you want to make an impact with it, check out the website and get involved: http://thedykemarch.org/

A Benefit for Dyke March. Nuff Said! ....Is it June yet???

The Dyke March Needs Your Help
And YOU can SAVE it!

DONATE NOW: http://thedykemarch.org/donate

After 18 years the Dyke March Committee is having serious financial difficulty that may result in canceling all or part of this year's march.
...
WHY?
The economic downturn has hit us hard. In the past The SF Dyke March has been made possible through generous grants from fabulous organizations, donations and fee waivers from the city and minimal private fund raising. Those grants have been cut, our insurance is no longer covered and due to city deficits many of the fees that have been waived can no longer be covered by the city. You know this can’t happen without port-o-potties!

THE PLAN:
We need to raise $30,000. At least half needs to come in the next month to make the Dyke March happen. Our mission is to get 2,000 people to donate at least $10 each in the next 30 days. Please donate as much as you can to help close the remaining gap!

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

DONATE $10 (or more!)
SHARE Email everyone you know & invite folks to the Facebook event
ASK your friends if they’ve donated their $10

YOU CAN HELP MAKE THE DYKE MARCH HAPPEN!

DONATE NOW: http://thedykemarch.org/donate
