An Invitation for Non-Profit Environmental Associations and Organizations.
Music for the Millennium is a fund raising event for the Sustainable Festival 2000 involving musicians, other artists, environmental associations, and green businesses supporting sustainable lifestyles in the next millennium.
Musicians from around West Virginia and the Appalachian region will contribute music and exchange ideas about living in a more natural world.
Artists will display their work and talk with participants about the beauty found in natural objects.
Environmental businesses will display information and products showing how they contribute to improving the environment in the next millennium. Businesses contribute vendor fees to finance the production of Sustainable Festival 2000.
Participants contribute entrance fees to gain entertainment, recreation and food at the Music for the Millennium event. All net proceeds from Music for the Millennium sales go toward production of WV Sustainable Festival 2000.
Participation of Environmental Organizations
Environmental Associations contribute information displays informing the public about current issues in sustainability.
Since the Music for the Millennium event is designed to raise funds for Sustainable Festival 2000, environmental organizations are also asked to contribute to the festival in any one of several ways.
1. Volunteer time for festival activities with children and adults
2. Contribute items for an auction
3. Donate a portion of proceeds from item sales to the festival
4. Sell sustainable food and drinks. Food and drink will be available for purchase from traditional festival vendors. We are also interested in having environmental organizations raise funds for themselves and the festival by serving non-traditional food and beverages.
5. Purchase and distribute group-rate tickets to organization members.
Call Myra Bonhage-Hale at 1-888-230-1708 or Denise Poole at 346-5891 to discuss the contribution your group will make. Dpoole@wvwise.org
