We're in a tight spot, team. Here at AS220 we have 17 new VISTAs diligently volunteering their service to America via expanding access to the arts as fervently and fanatically as is humanly possible. "Sounds like these VISTAs lead a fruitful and unencumbered existence," you may be saying to yourself. "AS220's convivial and wildly productive atmosphere forges ahead free of hindrances or handicaps!" Oh, how nearly correct you are! While zeal is high, our abundance of typing machines created after 1962 is low. In all seriousness comrades, we are desperately in need of a MacBook Pro. Maybe an iMac. Something snappy; something with 2Ghz of power; something that can run Snow Leopard and InDesign; something our freshest compatriots can use to create informational materials not classifiable as "ditto sheets" or "zine formatted." Any benevolent soul wishing to purchase such an item for their favorite Downcity not-for-profit arts organization would find themselves, quite promptly, face to face with a substantial tax deduction. Everyone wins! Watch on in awe and wonder as we shower you with our boundless gratitude and professional design quality "Thank You" notes! Also cleared for bestowal are "gently used" and "lightly loved" Macs of the same specs and with birthdays after 1997. Fancy yourself a patron of the arts no more; your philanthropic dreams are poised to become a reality! Hit a sister back to achieve benefactorhood: reba@as220.org.
