$RISE WPI 1\/2 Way Soir\u00e9e Fundraiser in Chicago$

Join us at a fun women's dance, following in the footsteps of the halfway to Michfest parties that Chicago was known for.
While you're there, learn about the wonderful RISE/WPI festivals on the Land.
The event will include poetry readings, a silent auction*, speed friending, and a musical performance by Laurie Jarski. Delicious food for purchase.
Tickets are $15-75 sliding scale. Purchase through Goldenrod: https://goldenrod.com/product/rise-wpi-1-2-way-soiree-fundraiser-march-21/
If you live out of town, invite your Chicago friends -- or purchase a ticket to help out the fundraiser.
Money raised will help cover the cost of the RISE/WPI festivals. For more about the festivals, join the groups:

* Do you have items to donate for the auction? We welcome items such as event tickets, artwork, CDs, getaway weekends, etc. We love the Land and would like to support as many sisters as possible to get back to the Land, or attend RISE/WPI for the very first time. Your donation will help us fund sisters to The Land! Reach out to the event co-hosts if you do!
