Shop at The Smitten Kitten to raise funds for V-Day 2005 MSU!
On Saturday, February 5, 2005 The Smitten Kitten will be hosting a fundraiser to help support our violence prevention efforts.  This fundraiser is in conjunction with our upcoming production of "The Vagina Monologues." The Smitten Kitten is a gender-friendly erotic boutique & sex toy store owned and operated by 3 MSU grads.  The store will donate 20% of all in-store and online sales made that day to our V-Day/"Vagina Monologues" violence prevention work.
You are invited to take a shopping trip to Minneapolis on Saturday, February 5 not only to buy some self-indulgent products in a wonderful environment, but also to support a great cause.  The Women's Center is coordinating two minivans to help manage carpooling.  We'll meet up in parking lot 11A (between the CSU and the rugby pitch) at noon.  RSVP to Deirdre for a spot in the van (389-6146, deirdre.rosenfeld@mnsu.edu).  You can browse or shop The Smitten Kitten online at smittenkittenonline.com or by calling (612) 721-6088.  Their store, located at 2223 East 35th Street in Minneapolis, is open from 11 AM to 9 PM on Saturday.
For more information about this shopping trip or V-Day, please contact Deirdre by email (deirdre.rosenfeld@mnsu.edu ) or by phone (389-6146).
