From 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. local companies, institutions, and organizations involved in the Berkshire Creative Economy (arts, theater, music, etc.) and/or Renewable Energy (wind, biodiesel, etc.) will host tables upstairs at Spice to showcase their programs, initiatives, and products, which are the very foundation of the economic revitalization of the Berkshires. The Colonial Theater, Hancock Shaker Village, Jacobs Pillow, Mass College of Liberal Arts, Topia Inn, Berkshire Biodiesel, The Williamstown Film Festival, and others have already signed on.
This part of the evening is strictly a celebration of the economic revitalization of the Berkshires and the part that the creative economy and clean, green, renewable energy are playing in that revival. There is no cost to the participants. And this will be a great way for folks involved in the creative economy and renewable energy to meet and chat with their Lt. Governor, Congressman, State Senator, State Representatives, State Democratic Party Chair, and Pittsfield Mayor Ruberto. So if your organization would like to host a table – or if you know of organizations that would – please contact us.
Then from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. we’ll kick off the critical 2008 Campaign with a good old-fashioned Democratic rally. Lt. Governor Tim Murray and John Walsh, Chairman of the state Democratic Party, will join us along with Congressman John Olver and State Senator Ben Downing. Gov. Deval Patrick and Sen. John Kerry have also been invited.
Tickets for the event are just $25 per person.
It’s impossible to overstate the importance of the 2008 election. Individual rights, human rights, health care, our national economy, The Iraq War, how we combat global warming – and indeed our very future – depend on electing a Democratic President and Congress. So let’s kick off the 2008 Presidential Campaign in a big way.
We hope to see you Jan. 11. Please use the form below to RSVP today.
Please print and send this page to Berkshire Brigades, 69 E. Housatonic St., Pittsfield, MA 01201. The deadline is Jan. 3, 2008.
