Bay Area Toxic

  • The Toxic Tour House Party

    That's right - it is time for some offline face-to-face networking.

    Details on Upcoming, Facebook or Evite (your choice of where to rsvp!).

    A Spot.Us community member is hosting an informal dinner party to raise awareness about environmental hazards that are having a negative impact on the communities who live close to industrial runoff.

    We will learn more about it, discuss it and what we can do together to raise awareness! It will be a fun, informal dinner with a purpose on March 28 from 5 to 8 PM.

    We hope we can get 30 Bay Area residents to attend this event, so feel free to invite your friends!

    If you're unable to come but would still be interested in donating $25 or $5 or $1 to the community-funded journalism piece, check out the link below. Your tax-deductible donation can be made directly on the Spot.Us pitch page: http://spot.us/pitches/156

    Also, if you would like to host a house party please do not hesitate to contact kara at spot dot us.
