Oxfam Social! Come join us...

As we are cruising through August, we wanted to extend the invite to come join the local Oxfam Community for an end-of-the-summer gathering! For the past several months, the Oxfam Chicago community has been out at concerts, street festivals, and activist breakfasts working to bring attention to the current effects that climate change has on poor communities around the world.

Come meet other like minded Oxfam supporters, see how "Oxfamers" have gotten involved in the past, learn about what's coming up in the Oxfam world in the future, and just have a good time! Friends are of course, always welcome.

WHEN: TUESDAY, August 19, 2008
TIME: 7:00 - 9:30

We'll have soda, beer and pizza, so in order to make sure our numbers are on point, please send us your RSVP to chicago.oxfamactioncorps@gmail.com.

Public Transit Directions: One block from the green and orange line Roosevelt
Stop & 2 blocks from the red line Roosevelt Stop.


Thanks, looking forward to seeing you there!

Coldplay!

We've been rolling deeep at recent Coldplay shows at the United Center! A total of 20 volunteers out both nights talking to folks about Oxfam's mission and signing people up to get involved and support the work we're doing! 1,143 signatures, I believe..

Great time had by all, wonderful job on behalf of the volunteers who came out, thank you so much for your energy!
