An Appeal from Drinking Liberally

UPDATE 8/27 @ 11PM: Thank you! We have met our goal and the PA system has been ordered. Thanks to the astute online shopping savvy of one of our members, we were actually able to obtain the system we wanted for a bit less than estimated: just over $140. The excess funds will be applied toward batteries for the mic, a new batch of Drinking Liberally buttons, and postage for Tasha’s thank you notes to our guests. Here’s the
receipt for the system’s purchase. Thank you for your enthusiastic response!

UPDATE 8/27 @ 2PM: We have nearly reached our goal of $165! Due to very generous $50 donation we have shot up to $145. We need just 20 dollars more to reach our goal, so won’t you help us reach our goal with even a small donation right now? Note: New BforAZ posts continue to appear below this notice.

UPDATE 8/26 @ 8PM: Due to the generous donations of several members, we are now just over half-way to our goal of $165, having collected $40 at our last meeting and $50 via online donations, we are now up to $90 in the kitty. Please donate now and help us meet our goal!

We hosts of Drinking Liberally have decided that we need to invest in a public address system for use at our weekly meetings.
Between ambient sounds, the size of the patio at the Shanty, nearby traffic and
trains, the often limited vocal volume of some of our presenters,
and the growing size of our meetings, it is sometimes hard for everyone
to hear what speakers are saying.

We would like to purchase a portable wireless system that will allow us to place the amp and speaker unobtrusively and allow the speaker to move and hand about the mic without worrying about the wire.

These systems generally retail for about $200. When
I announced our need at the last meeting, those present responded
generously and we raised $40 toward our goal on the spot. We have a tip
jar set up to send us money via PayPal
on our website, please use this
tool to send us a small (or a large) donation today.

Please consider making a small investment now that will pay off in
weeks and months to come in the form of a more pleasant and informative
Drinking Liberally experience. If every Tucson member reading this blog takes it upon him- or herself to donate even the mere $2
suggested tip amount, we’ll quickly and easily meet and exceed our
fund-raising goal for this project. That’s less than the cost of a
single pint of beer! Less than the tip you would likely give the server
to bring you a pint of beer!

Please help the Tucson chapter with a donation now.

Thanks for everything you do to make Drinking Liberally an enjoyable experience for all involved!

Mike, Tasha, & Shasta
Your Tucson Drinking Liberally Hosts
