CELLspace needs our help!

[expo at lists.artsandmedia.net]

The Expo for the Artist & Musician was born at CELL, that remarkable community-arts facility on Bryant St. @ 18th St. 

Now CELL needs our help. This is possibly the biggest crisis of CELL's existence. Please spread the word, and make the scene tonight!

Ever Been to CELLpace?

What: Community Meeting to Keep the CELL Alive and Well

When: Monday, November 19th @ 7pm

Where: CELLspace
(2050 Bryant Street btwn 18th & 19th, Mission District SF)

Who: the CELLspace community: anyone who has passed through our doors
(or has been wanting to!) to attend an event, receive services, create
some art, participate in community building, or for refuge.

Why: CELLspace's future is in jeopardy.  The collective and Board
members are struggling to pay monthly operating costs. We need to
refocus community support and revitalize our fundraising efforts and
collective energies!

The Evening will provide an update of the current status, a gathering
of creative thoughts and ideas, and an opportunity to get involved in
our metamorphosis.

The NEED:
* Events bookings
* grant-writers
* Youth service providers
* publicity/outreach management
* Save the CELL campaign development which includes: reaching out to
CBOs, local government, the media, former stakeholders and current
stakeholders
* monetary and in-kind donations

The GOAL:
* Revive the collective process within CELL, and engage resources: In
2005-2006 alone, CELLspace welcomed over 80,000 people into the space
with services, educational opportunities, events, space and more = 1
in every 8 residents in SF have been through our doors. The purpose of
these meeting is to ignite these folks who deem CELLspace a resource
and vital ficture within San Francisco's artistic, youth development
and social justice community. We will walk away with working groups to
tackle 4 major areas: fiscal health/debt management, events
development, program development for youth and adults, and leadership
involvment.

Please circulate this announcement to all Bay Area residents who are
willing and able to keep the CELL alive and well!

Thank You and See You Monday!!!
