A Very Jersey Xmas party (to support the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund)

You're invited to “A Very Jersey Xmas (http://fundly.com/very-jersey-christmas-sf)” party to benefit the New Jersey Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. Several Garden State expats and I (Jim) are hosting the event, which is the least we can do for the thousands of New Jerseyans (along with New Yorkers and others) facing less-than-bright holidays this year. Hope you can join us nextWednesday, December 5, from 6pm to 9pm at Temple Nightclub(540 Howard @ 1st) for a Jersey-themed holiday soiree and benefit (http://fundly.com/very-jersey-christmas-sf). You can find SF Weekly’s preview of the event here (http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2012/11/hurricane_sandy_jersey_xmas.php), and more information about the Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund here (https://sandynjrelieffund.org/index.html).

I realize few of you spent childhood summers on the Jersey Shore as I did; it looked nothing like the world inhabited by Snooki and Co., and of course took an unspeakable battering during the storm. But whether you’ve visited there or anywhere in New Jersey, have family in the state, enjoyed a drive on the New Jersey Turnpike, watched The Sopranos or worship Springsteen, we hope you’ll:

• Get your ticket and reserve your spot now by donating to the fund at http://fundly.com/very-jersey-christmas-sf OR you can just come to the event and donate $10 at the door.

• Come dressed Jersey style, or as your favorite notable New Jerseyan [speaking of which, anyone have an extra fedora?]

• Invite others to join – spread the word!

And if you can't make the party, your gift to support our campaign is certainly welcome; you'll find a number of targeted Sandy relief efforts at http://veryjerseyxmas.fundly.com (http://veryjerseyxmas.fundly.com/).

Hope to see you Wednesday night!

Jim

Per usual, our group will have BLUE and PURPLE balloons to help you find us. Again, if you don't want to donate online, you can come to the event and donate $10 at the door. Thank you for your support!
