Can’t get enough CHANGE? Good! The election was just the beginning. This campaign was not just about bringing change to Washington, but also about bringing it to Brooklyn. It is up to us to make the change real.

Join us on Sunday, February 8th when more than 65+ local non-profit organizations, charities and advocacy groups will come together for the first-ever “Continue the Change Service Fair.” Organized by Brooklyn for Barack and the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats, the event will be part of an ongoing effort to harness the incredible energy sparked by the Obama campaign. Attendees will have an opportunity to speak with representatives of organizations that are offering concrete volunteer opportunities like writing, teaching, tutoring, filmmaking, phonebanking, mentoring, word processing, stocking food pantries, sewing clothes for survivors of domestic violence, working w/ animals, canvassing, gardening and farming, ushering at performances, photography, and job search mentoring.

There will also be a Make and Take arts table for kids and roundtable discussions on the following subjects: Local Environmental Activism, Using Technology to Monitor and Influence the Legislative Process, Health Care, Voting Rights, and Food Justice.

What: Continue the Change Volunteer Fair
When: Sunday, Feb. 8, 2 to 6 p.m.
Where: Union Temple, 17 Eastern Parkway (at Grand Army Plaza) 3rd Floor ballroom
Cost: Free, but a box of dried pasta for Union Temple’s food drive would be appreciated
