Last Thursday is Coming…
From FoLT:
With 17,000 participants in the peak summer months, Friends of Last Thursday is focused on addressing the issues involved with sustaining this event in a people-powered approach. This group has saved LT from a painful death, the result of politics, collapse, self implosion and or backlash from one of many angles. FoLT will now hold a permit for LT and are geared to steer the event back towards supporting artists and performers and providing the services to allow it to continue into the future. FoLT earns and scrounges funds and gathers the volunteers each month, providing security, education of the vendors about expectations, removal of trash and recycling, street closure and logistics.
FoLT is wanting to purchase a used box truck for our Street Operations Team. We will take that box trailer and retro-fit it to carry all of the barricades, street signs, and garbage/recycling bins and what they get filled with at the end of the night. FoLT will then lend out the trailer to other community groups at low cost, with the funds helping FoLT to become more financially sustainable. This box trailer will help us support a multicultural community’s economic engine, grassroots art, creative thinking, performance opportunities, personal expression, dreaming, et al. Your contribution may be tax deductible as our fiscal sponsor is the Non-Profit Association of Oregon.
Please see our campaign here.
Shoot, if you don’t have $ to give, please take a moment to pass this along to friends and help us get the word out!
You can also volunteer for a Last Thursday! Info@LastThursdayonAlberta.comEach month runs just under $4000 to make the magic happen even with the donated time, cars, drivers and efforts.
