Upcoming Comedy Shows to Benefit Local Causes

Posted on by

MESSAGE FROM
Curious Comedy Productions

Hello Curious Comedy Community –

Curious Comedy Theater has been growing by leaps and bounds. But, today we are asking for your help to keep thriving. We need to raise $10,000 by the end of 2010 to pay for a railing the fire inspector is requiring us to install on our mezzanine and related expenses. Luckily, the finished railing will also serve as the first step in completing and opening our mezzanine balcony. Please give what you can. Every donation large or small makes a huge difference. You can make your donation on line here at the longest link ever: https://robot.boxofficetickets.com/800-494-TIXS/WebObjects/BOTx2005.woa/wa/inspectSubprogram?id=881935&passKey=c154bd10a7
But we don’t just want to ask for things – so we are also giving back this season through our many partnerships. All shows are at 8pm, doors at 7:15pm. See www.curiouscomedy.org for more details:

From Respect PDX:

Are you concerned about cell towers and wireless antennas going up near homes, schools, and parks in Portland? On November 15, a standing room only crowd attended a workshop on cell towers in Portland. The people attending made it clear that Portlanders want better oversight of cell tower siting in our neighborhoods.

Join us next Tuesday, December 7, for a short meeting to finalize a plan of action and set up working committees. Our goals include changing local ordinances and making sure health impacts are a part of City policy.
