ABOUT US
  	Alliance for Community
Trees is dedicated to improving the environment where 80% of Americans  
live: our cities, towns, and villages. Together, ACT's national  
network of members have planted and cared for 7.8 million trees with  
help from 450,000 volunteers.	

ABOUT WEBCASTS
The Brown Bag Lunch Series is a monthly webcast held at the lunch  
hour. The goal is to create informal trainings for local urban and  
community forestry organizations. The trainings leverage local  
successes by amplifying to a larger audience the model organizations'  
methods, materials, and approaches.

Special Event Fundraising
August 21, 2008
1:00- 2:00pm EDT

Special event fundraisers are an opportunity to raise money, of  
course, but can also increase the visibility of an organization.  
Because they can be such a great marketing devise, there are many  
details to consider, from the invitations and decorations to food and  
music. This one event could be the image of your organization in the  
community. So whether they're held at a private club, feature a live  
band, dancing, dinner, awards, or a raffle, they're about having fun.

ARCADIA
Kelly Quirke, Executive Director, Friends of the Urban Forest (San  
Francisco, CA)

Arcadia is an invitational biennial event, conceived by artists in  
2002 as a way to make a significant contribution to San Francisco's  
urban ecosystem. The Bay Area art community has welcomed the  
opportunity to transform their art into trees and enhance our city one  
artwork and one tree at a time. In 2007, through the generosity of Bay  
Area artists, more than $185,000 was raised for Friends of the Urban  
Forest.
