Barack Obama Update

My old college friend Nancy has been super busy with the Obama campaign lately, but I heard from her just today and I wanted to pass it on. She has OK'd that I put her email into a blog post.

Dear Friends:

Thank you for all of the enthusiastic outpourings of well wishes that Barack and our campaign team have received in recent days!

Our Democratic Party nominee, my good friend from Harvard Law School, and (most importantly) the next President of the United States, Senator Barack Obama, will be in Los Angeles on June 24th at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for two major fundraising events, a general reception for 800 people and a private sit-down dinner for approximately 150 people.

The general reception is $2,300 per person. The sit-down dinner is for the high rollers among you (or those whom you may know), and costs $28,500 per pair of tickets (no individual tickets will be sold). One excellent opportunity for those of you in the 'high roller' category is to make a contribution of $57,000, which includes four tickets to the sit-down dinner, where Barack will spend time at each table and each pair of guests will take a picture with him. The $57,000 amount is also inclusive of access for two people to the DNC Convention (in Deniver, August 25 - 29, 2008, where Barack will formally accept the party's nomination), with convention floor passes, private reception passes and a guaranteed hotel space. (If you wish to buy a convention package but cannot attend the June 24th event, please e-mail me and I will facilitate that.)

I regret that we have no volunteer opportunities available for the events, nor will there be any discounts available for the stated contribution levels. If you circulate this announcement beyond a few personal friends and colleaugues, please ask them to reply to my campaign e-mail address, Nmccullough@obamaca.com, instead of this address. Thank you so much for your understanding, and also for understanding it may not be possible for me to respond to messages regarding campaign matters other than this event for a few weeks (so it might be better to wait until after June 24 for those).

I encourage everyone to respond quickly if you are interested, because in addition to our usual CA Finance Team, we now are privileged to have many of Hillary Clinton's supporters joining this effort, as well as the DNC's national finance team. We may well sell out by week's end.

Please confirm your attendance by completing the attached form and faxing it back to 323-692-1433, in lieu of the fax number on the form. (The second page is only applicable to married spouses contributring the $57,000 amount between them.)
