You're Invited: Cheetah Development First Annual Benefit

In our increasingly flat world, the global regularly becomes more local. And Angela Eifert is helping to make that happen this month here in Minnesota. She's working to plan the Cheetah Development First Annual Benefit right down to its QR Code and would welcome you to be there to hear the story of Cheetah Development from its Founder and Executive Director. If you're a general fan of social enterprise, a globe-trotter with a penchant for learning more, or curious about ways in which you can engage with revolutionary philanthropies, this event is for you!

Bloomington, Minnesota

We are excited to announce the First Annual Cheetah Development Benefit. This historic event will take place on Thursday, September 29th 2011, from 6-9 PM at the Minnesota Valley Country Club in Bloomington. Dress is casual but feel free to wear whatever is comfortable to you. So far, about 100 tickets have been sold and tickets are going fast so please do not wait to get yours!

The event will feature the Founder and Executive Director of Cheetah Development, Ray Menard as the keynote speaker. Ray is back from Africa and will share inspiring stories and insight regarding project development. You will also hear accounts of tremendous human impact brought about by the trust and determination of the citizens of Iringa your ongoing support of Cheetah Development in Tanzania.
Here’s just a glimpse of what else you have to look forward to:

• ‘Tanzanian Style’ auction and silent auction – both will feature authentic Tanzanian artifacts
• Auction of a 4+ carat blue Tanzanite stone you will enjoy hearing of the provenance of this beauty!
• 5 minute high-impact presentations highlighting each of the projects developed by Cheetah Development
• Interactive format that will include Q & A forum
• Authentic Tanzanian food

Cheetah Development is a nonprofit organization based in Minneapolis, but has an investment company in Tanzania to start sustainable, innovative business models that can move impoverished communities into growing economies over time. Do you wish to be an investor in a cutting edge philanthropy movement? How about just a donor to support a good cause? Or would you consider providing a micro-loan to small business entrepreneurs to get their businesses started? Either way, I invite you to attend the first annual benefit to learn about this revolutionary philanthropic organization and to support the work being done in Tanzania.

Tickets are $35 and seating is limited so go online, or call to register today!
