Literacy for Environmental Justice Celebration!

From: Milton Reynolds [mailto:Milton_Reynolds@facing.org]

Dear All,

On November 14th, Literacy for Environmental Justice will hold its first annual benefit dinner and celebration -- and we're hoping you can join in on the fun!

Among other things we'll be celebrating the recent ground breaking and strides towards completion of the EcoCenter at Heron's Head Park. The EcoCenter will be the only building of its kind in San Francisco and will feature, among other cutting edge technologies, a green living roof as well as the Eco Machine, a UV and green house based water filtration system. The building will be totally off grid and highlight a number of sustainable building practices. Perhaps most importantly, though, it'll house a number of programs we provide for LEJ Youth and the communities we serve: Bayview Hunters Point in particular, but other neighborhoods across the city as well. The building has already drawn attention from across the nation and we'd love to share it with you too.

The event will take place on November 14th at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at Mission Rock Cafe ( 817 Terry Francois Drive, San Francisco). Please contact our Deputy Director, Pamela Calvert, at (415) 282-6840.

A flier is attached; please feel free to share it with someone else you think might be moved by LEJ's work.

Thanks in advance for your support and I look forward to seeing you there!

Take care,

Milton Reynolds

Chair of the Board, LEJ
