It’s time to forget about parking spaces, Christmas card lists, and even what to buy your hard to fit relatives. Come to the Lively Party, Sunday, Dec. 17, 2 - 4 and a little more p.m. at the Veterans Building Green Room, 401 Van Ness at McAllister, San Francisco. Escape the pony rides with your ungrateful nephews. No big time pressure: you can drop in for good food and music and make a bid on some wonderful prizes at the silent auction. Spa visits, restaurant meals, even a luxury hotel stay are all up on the auction block. Lively is doing this in order to (1) have a good time with our friends (2) make new friends (3) try to raise some money to help support our programs for schoolchildren and (4) help to re-pay the American Conservatory Theater’s costume department for the many wonderful, one of a kind pieces that were in Leslie’s car when it got stolen. Don’t miss this great event! We give extremely good parties. We request: $20 donation in advance/$30 donation at the door. Mail your check to The Lively Foundation to The Lively Foundation, 2565 Washington Street, San Francisco, CA 94115-1828. If you prefer, we will accept a $50 donation; if $15 works better for you, that’s ok, too.
