Just in case you haven't heard, there's a movement underfoot! LLF is promoting the 10% Shift, a grassroots movement of citizens, businesses, government agencies and nonprofits working to shift 10% or more of their annual budget to locally owned and INDEPENDENT businesses. It's such a simple idea - buy from your neighbors, keep the moolah in the community!
To promote this fantastic concept, not only are we partaking in some serious guerrilla marketing, but we are also holding two events in which you MUST attend. The information is as follows...
Press Conference
WHERE: Marion Square, Downtown Charleston
WHEN: Tuesday, June 30th, 10:00am.
WHAT: Mayor Riley, Mayor Summey and acting Mayor Smith will all be signing the "Declaration of Independents" and taking the 10% Pledge. You can sign the pledge, too! So come represent!
10% Shift Launch Party
WHERE: 10 Storehouse Row - The Navy Yard at Noisette
WHEN: Friday, July 10th, 7:00-10:00pm
ADMISSION: 10 cents
We will have live music with Part-Time Heroes, food from The BBQ Joint, Taco Boy (you know), Monza and Local Street Food as well as beer, Firefly Vodka and Shifty videos.
We also need volunteers, so if you're interested, email me at amy@lowcountrylocalfirst.org
Be there, or be square! But above all, BE SHIFTY!
