Annual Toast - Library Foundation of LA

Come support the LA public libraries!

On October 23rd, Young Literati, a charitable organization of
individuals in their 20's, 30's and 40's who support the Los Angeles
Public Library, will be throwing our 2nd Young Literati Annual Toast
to benefit the LA Public Libraries.

This cocktail event will take place this year at the Track 16 Gallery
at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, amidst a survey of the work of
artist Robbie Conal, who will also be joining us for the event.

Last year the Young Literati Annual Toast, which was held at a gallery
in Beverly Hills, attracted more than 300 guests, including noted
television and film actors Laura Dern, James Franco, Bradley Whitford,
and Heroes stars Adrian Pasdar and Zachary Quinto. We are anticipating
another exciting and fun evening this year!

Tickets are $150 per person and parking will be complimentary.

We are thrilled to invite Harvard alumni to the event this year and
are providing a special discount.

*Alums receive a $25 discount on the ticket purchase ($125 per person
instead of $150) just by mentioning Harvard when RSVP-ing.

Last year, the "Young Literati Annual Toast" brought in over $80,000,
and it continues to be a great way for young individuals in Los
Angeles to work with individual branches of the Los Angeles Public
Library to offer access to information, education, and limitless
possibilities... for free... to local communities where these
opportunities are often so limited.

Bidding on the "change" bus too high - Obama '12

Max Bazerman's negotiation class at HBS has an auction where students
bid against each other for a $20 bill. Invariably every year the
bidding goes way over $20. Be it the psychology pitfalls of loss
aversion, commitment, diagnosis bias, insanity, whatever, this
campaign for the US presidency reminds me of that auction.
"McCain-rictus" has rushed in. With a master stroke he has out bid
Obama for this presidency. You want a woman. You got one. You wanna
a tax cut. You got it. You want to end the war. Been there. Done
that. Want to see my scars. My daughter wrote a kids book about 'em.
I am John McCain the agent of "change". Did I mention I am a green
candidate and a feminist too? I'm in charge of the Republican party
diversity project. As expected they are doing anything to win. And
they are just warming up. Obama, God bless his soul, won't do that.
Hillary beat him at it. Even Obama's Biden VP pick for principled and
"personal" reasons? Gees. How naive.

Absent an act of God, he has loser written all over him on this
election. The only solace will be watching John McCain and Sarah
Palin follow through on the legacy of the W empire over America. It
may be the will of higher forces that we experience collapse. Only
when we reach bottom for the McCain side of the country will our
brethren value the hand Obama has. Obama 2012 begins ...

Fwd: Help support Town School Class of '75 & Harvard Class of '83 classmate Ethan Berkowitz

Please join

The Town School Class of '75
& Harvard Class of '83

for a breakfast in support of classmate

Ethan Berkowitz

Alaska Democratic Candidate for Congress

Thursday, September 18 from 8:15am - 10:00am

at Gamine (formerly Chez Mama)

2223 Union at Fillmore

All donations warmly accepted

2008 is a good year to be a Democrat in Alaska. Ethan Berkowitz is the
Democratic candidate for Alaska's sole congressional seat.

Incumbent Congressman Don Young has been locked in a "too close to
call" primary election with Lt. Gov Sean Parnell since August 26th,
with the final results not expected before the end of September. In a
year where Democrats finally have a chance to turn Alaska blue, we can
help take advantage of this incredible opportunity. Don Young, known
to most as the Bridge to Nowhere champion, has paid over $1 million in
legal fees since 2007, and has been trailing Ethan in every poll
released this year.

Ethan Berkowitz was born and raised in San Francisco by his parents
Myra & Nathaniel Berkowitz. Ethan graduated from Harvard in 1983, and
earned a law degree from the University of California Hastings College
of Law in 1990. From 1991 to 1993, Ethan worked as a state prosecutor
in Anchorage and rural Alaska. After spending the 1993-94 season in
the Antarctic, he opened his own law practice. Beginning in 1996, he
served in the Alaska State Legislature for ten years. After Ethan's
first term in office, he was chosen by his peers to lead the House
Democrats, a position he held for eight years. He is best known for a
speech he made in 2006 calling out bribery and corruption in the state
legislature. Since then the FBI has gotten involved, and nearly a
dozen indictments have been handed down.

In 2006, Ethan began the year by running for Governor, and debated
then Gubernatorial-candidate Sarah Palin on several occasions. Once
Former Governor Tony Knowles entered the race, Ethan stepped down and
ran as Knowles' Lieutenant Governor. On the campaign trail Ethan
speaks passionately about the energy potential of Alaska, a state
which suffers more from Climate Change than any other. The renewable
energy potentials of Alaska extend from wind energy, to geo-thermal,
to 90% of the country's tidal potential. Ethan has been a leader on
these issues in Alaska, and can bring the same focus and fight to
Washington.

To RSVP, please email or call Anna Morozovsky at (907) 947-1628.
