Join us round the campfire of your computer screen or fax machine and find out how you could have Christmas in April, attend a powerful leadership workshop, get funding for an arts or neighborhood project, and join your peers in a new nonprofit support group on the Peninsula. Don't miss the restaurant review at the end. Formal and informal neighborhood groups as well as youth groups are encouraged to apply. Christmas in April is looking for qualified nonprofit facilities needing work from a simple paint job to more elaborate light construction and landscaping projects. Groups of 50 to 300 or more volunteers, led by experienced facility managers, architects and contractors, will renovate up to 15 Bay Area facilities in '98.
All work is performed at no cost to the facility.
Check out the new website of the James Irvine Foundation. It's clearly organized. It provides easy access to funding criteria, application procedures, deadlines, etc. Meetings are free. Applications may be submitted by groups, individuals or community organizations.
