In September 2009, the RFC began what we’ve dubbed our “20/20/20” campaign: 20 events in 20 cities in 20 months to celebrate our 20th anniversary! After eight events so far, we couldn’t be more pleased with the initial results.
Enthusiastic RFC supporters in Albany, Rochester and Buffalo, NY; Miami and Delray Beach, FL; Seattle; and Berkeley, hosted terrific benefit receptions in homes and community centers in their cities. Another steadfast contributor organized a hugely successful screening of a new French documentary film about the Rosenbergs that drew over 250 attendees to a Jewish Community Center in Providence, RI. Collectively, the RFC netted over $12,000 from these events, while reconnecting with old friends and being introduced to many new ones.
Our itinerary for the remainder of 2010 already includes stops in Los Angeles; Washington, DC; and Ocean City, NJ in April; Ann Arbor, MI and Chicago in May; Manhattan and Brooklyn in June; and a larger gala on October 17th in Easthampton, MA, the hometown of the RFC office.
As we fill out the 2010 docket and add the final programs in the spring of 2011, it’s not too late to get your city on the list. Contact Amber Black, our Public Relations Coordinator, at amber@rfc.org or (413) 529-0063 if you’d like to get involved.
