Stop the Towers Hootenanny

SAVE THE DATE

FOR THE CALIFORNIA DESERT COALITION'S BENEFIT EVENT

 Stop the Towers Hootenanny

 

The California Desert Coalition (CDC) will be holding a benefit dinner and silent auction at historic

 

Pappy & Harriets Palace in Pioneertown on

June 14, 2008, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

 

Stop the Towers Hootenanny will feature a buffet dinner, great music, no host bar and the opportunity to bid on silent auction items.  This festive evening of fun and camaraderie promises to be a real "hoot" and will offer us all the opportunity to hear about the latest progress being made to stop the proposed 500kV power corridor through the Morongo Basin and surrounding communities, including Pioneertown within sight of Pappy & Harriets Palace . 

Valuable items from local businesses, artists and individuals have been pledged, and more are needed for the auction.  Any items big or small are very welcome and all tax-deductible donations will be acknowledged at the party.  Please call Fundraising Committee member Pam Anderson (760-228-9676) if you have a service, object or artwork to contribute to the event and this important cause or if you would like more information about the event. 

Bev Doolittle, famous native Californian artist and local resident, has pledged an original piece to help raise monies to increase the education and legal fund, so you can expect to see almost anything up for auction at the Stop the Towers Hootenanny.
