Santa Barbara County Action Network will celebrate and honor Dick Flacks for his lifelong activism during our “Making History/Making Blintzes” Brunch and Fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 12 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at El Paseo Mexican Restaurant, 10 El Paseo, in Santa Barbara. We hope you will join us in recognizing Dick Flacks and support SBCAN’s important work by sponsoring our event.
More than 20 years ago, Dick and Mickey Flacks helped found Santa Barbara County Action Network—the first countywide grassroots progressive organization in the region’s history. They invited several activists to meet in their living room to discuss how to build bridges between the north and the south parts of the county and between environmental and social justice movements. The group founded SBCAN in January 2002. Today, those bridges are in place and thriving, with several strong, progressive organizations supporting each other.
SBCAN will celebrate Dick’s lifelong contributions through music and merrymaking, blintzes and brunch. We’ll hear some of Dick’s personal life story, see a short, fun video, sing some music and hear from some community leaders who work with Dick. They will join him to speak of their concerns and hopes for the future.
Your sponsorship will honor Dick Flacks and reflect your commitment to the community. You will also benefit from significant publicity through our email and Facebook promotions, on our website, in public acknowledgements and in our Tribute Book. We will help connect you with our members and friends throughout the county.
This event will also help SBCAN raise some of the funds needed to keep doing our part to carry this type of work forward.
