| In
Austin, there are numerous organizations that you can join to enrich
your life or assist others who may need your help. I want to make
people aware of everything from the Austin Cycling Association to
AIDS Services of Austin to the PC Users Workgroup. Everyone has
a little bit of spare time. Use it well. Hopefully, you have enough
time to balance personal pleasure with community responsibility.
If
you know of a organization that could use a little exposure, send
an email to organizations@austinexperience.com.
Make sure you include a description and relevant contact information
(i.e. phone numbers, addresses, contacts).

Firefighters Fund-Raising Ball - January 20th, 2007
It's
that time again! Come join the Austin African American Firefighters
Association again for a fun filled night of fine dining and dancing
with Austin Firefighters and the Austin community at the new Crowne
Plaza Hotel(Hwy 290 & IH-35). We have a Keynote speaker you
won't want to miss and entertainment to listen or dance to. This
is a fund-raising event you can feel good about supporting. We will
be recognizing our 3 scholarship award winners at this year's event
as well. This event is for singles or couples, and is a semi-formal
dress to impress occasion. We will have "All U Need" performing
at 9pm along with DJ Mr. D.I.G closing out the night for those that
prefer a faster pace. We will have door prizes, a cash bar, and
much more. Get your tickets online or at Mitchies. $35 for dinner
& show or $10 for show only. Thanks to all those that have supported
us in the past. Be sure to visit our site for more information,
we even have a flyer you can print out to post on your bulletin
board. Feel free to leave comments or ideas on our online forum.
We look forward to seeing you on the 20th.
