RELIEF CAMPAIGN FOR HAITI

Our Dear Friends,

Please come together in support of Haiti at Cafe Petisco, 189 East Broadway on Monday January 18th 6-9pm.

The assessments are just beginning; already we know that the 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday is a catastrophe of major proportions.

While it's heartening to see the swift response from our President and the international community overall, we should not take the relief effort for granted nor leave it up to others to fix it.

The earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12 is simply the latest in a long line of devastations that has been visited on the Haitian people.  Many survivors require immediate assistance with shelter, food, water, and medical attention. To this end we are committing our efforts to an ongoing campaign to raise funds for the Haitian crisis.

The most immediate, pressing need is medical aid, therefore we are coming together this Monday to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries. 

MSF has been setting up emergency medical aid missions around the world since 1971. On Tuesday MSF staff immediately started treating hundreds of people injured and have been setting up clinics in tents to replace their own damaged medical facilities.

Daily we are seeing the heartbreaking images of the devastation.  Let us not feel helpless; let us act now by coming together to send desperately needed funds to the Haitian people.

Monday's event at Cafe Petisco will be hosted by Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr. and will include cocktails, appetizers, music by DJ Sunshine and a silent auction of donated art works by various New York City artists plus special guest appearances including comedienne Hazelle Goodman.  We ask that you dig deeply into your hearts for a suggested donation of at least $25.00 per person.  100% of all donations will go to Doctors Without Borders.

RSVP:     (347) 526-8782  

 
We look forward to your support.

Sincerely,
Kobi Skolnick and Vernice P. Miller

Dear Friends,

Spring is upon us! What a momentous time to be alive, to bear witness and be a part of history. In spite of the troubled economy, we forge on and push through the troubling times certain that the only thing we are promised is change and that this down turn will eventually swing upward again. We keep on creating, reaching towards our dreams and turning to each other, to our larger communities for encouragement and support.

We at ALAT have been hard at work continuing to clarify the company’s mission, building our website, and organizing workshops. We hope to be incorporated this spring. After a decade and a half of quiet work we are officially launching this company!

We are asking for your support as we build towards a very exiting 2010 beginning with A Call to Action this coming Sunday March 22nd 2-4pm and culminating with a two-week master workshop and work-demonstration with Roberta Carreri of the Odin Teatret whose work is the impetus for our company’s existence.

This truly is a momentous time for us and we hope that you will join us. Scroll down for a summary of ALAT workshops and events or visit our blog for more information…
