LAWTF

AT THIS TIME OF
GIVING
 As
we move toward
Thanksgiving Day and
year-end holiday
celebrations, we all
begin to think in
terms of what we
have to be thankful
for. The Los
Angeles Women's
Theatre Festival
is no different. We
SOOO thank all of
our many
contributors for
2010, and indeed
over our 16 year
history.
As we
also think in terms
of giving at this
benevolent time of
the year, the Los
Angeles Women's
Theatre Festival
would like to ask
you to add us to
your gift-giving
list. Donations
may be made by
PayPal at www.lawtf.com
or by mail at 11411
Cumpston St. # 204,
North Hollywood, CA
91601.
As a 501c3
non-profit arts
organization, all
donations earmarked
to the Festival are
tax-deductible, as
allowed by law. All
contributions go to
our arts and
education programs
that serve adults
and youth. In this
tight economy every
dollar of revenue
that comes in to the
Festival is needed
more than ever to
keep our shingle
out.
We also ask that as
you do your holiday
shopping at Ralph's
Supermaret that you
voice your support
for the Festival by
using our telephone
number at (818)
760-0408.
You may also request
a card for Food4Less
that you can swipe
with each purcahse
on behalf of the
Festival. You will
still receive your
discounts AND you
will contribute to LAWTF's
arts and educational
programs, at the
same time.
Grocery shopping
is something we all
do, and this way of contributing
requires no monetary
giving on your part.
Thank you in advance
for your continued
support of the Los
Angeles Women's
Theatre Festival!
