[Comedias] El Paso Giving Day

[AHCT Listserv]

Dear AHCT colleagues,



I am writing to the AHCT Listserv to encourage each of you (if you feel so
inclined) to participate in the 2019 “El Paso Giving Day” starting *November
7, 2019* with a contribution to Los Paisanos del Chamizal at the following
direct link: *https://donate.elpasogivingday.org/organizations/los-paisanos-del-chamizal
<https://donate.elpasogivingday.org/organizations/los-paisanos-del-chamizal> *



As you can see from Katherine Brennand’s email below, contributions will be
matched up to $1.5 million, which means that our contributions, if
strategically made, can provide Los Paisanos with twice the bang for the
buck.  Thus, as Katherin notes, the earlier in the window of opportunity
that we contribute, the more likely the Paisanos are to earn the matching
funds.



So, please, if you love the *comedia* and want to continue to support the
Chamizal Siglo de Oro festival, please do consider making a contribution to
this important fundraiser.



Best wishes,

Bruce
