Save the Date: Education Voters of PA Fundraiser, January 22nd
Please join Education Voters of Pennsylvania with special guests Governor Ed Rendell and Congressman Chaka Fattah. Education Voters of Pennsylvania has had a very busy year! This summer alone we contacted over 180,000 voters throughout the state to help push for a responsible budget that keeps the promises made to our children and continues the progress we've made with public education. With the help and support of people like you, Governor Rendell and the General Assembly passed a budget that honors and improves upon the school funding formula adopted last year, and provides a $300 million increase in the basic education subsidy for school districts! While this is an incredibly significant accomplishment, we know we will be in for just as difficult a fight next year as the economy continues to struggle. Since our inception we have built a list of over 3,000 activists, but we need to continue this momentum if we want to build upon the gains we have made. Come out to support Education Voters of Pennsylvania and this very important cause, and enjoy some food, drink, and friends in the process. Event is Friday, January 22nd, 4:30-6:30 p.m., and will be held at Berger & Montague, P.C., 1600 Locust St., Philadelphia, PA. Contribution is $100 and up. For more information: Contact Susan Gobreski at (215) 564-2299 or by email at [email protected]. RSVP on Facebook.
