Dear Friends,

We are writing to tell you about upcoming events to celebrate Rhizome's
fifth anniversary-and to ask for your help.

For over five years, Rhizome has served as a vital community resource. We
have hosted hundreds of events related to social and environmental justice,
and have created a shared "living room" for diverse communities. Rhizome has
become a unique institution-a forum for powerful voices, discussions on
critical issues, mutual learning, and sharing of resources. Rhizome was
created to nurture organizing in Vancouver-and now it's time for the
community to nurture Rhizome!

Rising costs and the current economic crisis have hit Rhizome hard-just as
they have impacted many others in our communities. Our revenue has dropped
significantly in recent months-and we now need more than food sales to keep
doing this work. Rhizome needs your help to stay open.

Introducing – The Friends of Rhizome

We are launching an individual donor program to help keep Rhizome afloat-and
to make sure that it can thrive well into the future. We are gratefully
accepting donations of any amount-either on a one-time or monthly basis.
Individuals and organizations can all become Friends of Rhizome. Go to our
website: www.rhizomecafe.ca/friends.html to find out how you can donate by
cash, cheque or credit card. Your donation really can make a difference.

Please also forward this urgent appeal as soon as you are able to people you
think would like to support Rhizome.

We need volunteers to support this campaign. If you can help, please contact
lisa@rhizomecafe.ca.
