Just got word that In Defense of Animals is kicking down for sponsorship. And also, that Little Otsu is donating a grip of their lovely greeting card/postcards for the Prisoner Support table so folks on the inside will get something nice in the mail.

Friday night conference kickoff party
June 26, 7 to 10 pm
PSU Smith Memorial Union, Room 228

Hello! Your presence is requested at the Let Live Conference kickoff party, Friday night, June 26. Please join us for a night of community building, vegan soft serve ice cream eating (thanks Blossoming Lotus), and off the hook fun. All speakers and attendees are invited. The festivities will begin with a talk by Will Potter about the importance of community in this movement and how important it is for all of us to support each other in the pursuit of our common goals for the animals. This talk gets to the heart of what this conference is all about and will set the tone for the weekend.

Once the hugfest is complete, the karaoke machine will roar to life and your greatest triumph/humiliation will be set to begin. Hopped up on soft serve, surrounded by a room full of new and old friends, your performance is bound for legendom! Bring your voice and your guts and lay it down! A warning: Word on the street is that some amongst us have been practicing for months.

If you aren’t the karoake type, you can camp out by the soft serve machine, filling your belly, making friends, and cheering on the singers.

We are hoping this conference will blur the lines between speakers and attendees, beginners and more seasoned activists. We could think of no better way to do that than belting out the hits with each other. Come sing, laugh, and cheer, or just laugh and cheer. Whatever you do, just don’t miss this!

See you there!

Hello, Friends!

The Let Live Animal Rights Conference is just around the corner and we are in need of volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and for those who volunteer at least two hours- it also means FREE admission to the entire conference! How can you beat that? You can’t! So join us Wednesday, June 10th at 8pm at Food Fight (1217 SE Stark) to learn more.

If you can’t make the volunteer meeting but are interested in helping out, please e-mail us at elsbeth@letlivefoundation.org and we’ll set you up. Thank you for supporting animals and Let Live!

Just added Craig Rosebraugh to the confirmed speakers list for the conference. Man, this thing is gonna be good.

The Let Live Foundation is excited to announce its formation as a non-profit organization. With this exciting news in mind, we are now planning the 2009 Let Live Conference. The conference will be held June 26-28th with the theme “Discovering Your Activist Qualities.” The conference presentations will cover specific topics geared towards helping activists and aspiring activists discover their talents and how to apply it to the movement. However, we will be including workshops aimed towards new activists with a special 101 Room.

The Let Live Foundation feels strong ties to the Portland activist community and our goal for the conference has always been to provide a local feel. In order to maintain this, we are extending an invitation to Portland-based groups and interested individuals to attend a special meeting on Feb 7th at 2pm on campus in the PSU Smith Memorial Student Union Room 237 to discuss any concerns, questions and suggestions you may have for the conference. If you are unable to attend the meeting, feel free to email your feedback to info@letlivefoundation.org.

We hope to see you at the meeting,
Let Live

PS. We are also ready to start doing some fundraising, our first step is a bank account with an attached PayPal account. We would absolutely love you to death if you could spare $5-$10 to help kick start things, it’d really go a long way for us to keep doing what we do. PayPal whatever you feel comfortable with to: donate@letlivefoundation.org. If you can’t spare it, no sweat, just thought we’d ask.

PPS. Don’t forget “Why Farm Animals Matter” on Feb 3rd. Check our site for all the details.
