Greater Pasadena Champagne Brunch  

Dear NWPC Members, Friends and Family:

The National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) of Greater Pasadena is pleased to announce its upcoming annual Champagne Fundraising Brunch, to be held Saturday, May 17, 2008, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM at the beautiful home of Connie Holguin. We are pleased to announce that our honoree and featured speaker will be State Senator Sheila Kuehl, author of the single payor healthcare plan (as of yet, not enacted). Senator Kuehl has a long history of fighting for women, children and men and to advance social justice on behalf of all of those who have been historically underserved.

Additionally, we will be honoring one of our Caucus co-founders, Dolores Hickabottom. This beloved community activist worked for Loretta Glickman (the City's first African American mayor), as well as several other progressive legislators. Dolores continues to participate in our monthly working council meetings and contributes much to our caucus work.

This event is our political action committee fundraiser, which allows our caucus to support local women running for office. In the past year, and through your generosity, we helped elect two women to the Pasadena City Council (Jacque Robinson and Margaret McAustin), a woman to the Pasadena Unified School Board -- Renatta Cooper –- and we helped fund the campaigns of Pasadena Unified School Board candidates Roberta Martinez and Milena Albert. Recently, we endorsed Enid Joffe, in her race to be re-elected to the Sierra Madre City Council. We look forward to continuing to help female candidates in the future.   

You have helped us in the past as a sponsor to this event. Won’t you please help us again by sponsoring this event, as follows:

Benefactor--$300.00    Patron--$200.00    Sponsor--$100.00

Please let us know by return e-mail, or by calling Diana Peterson-More or Jeanne Register by Friday, April 11, 2008, to ensure your name will be listed on our invitation.
