President Obama will be in Boston for 3 events on Monday June 25

If you have been waiting to donate to the campaign the time has come.  Show your support for the re-election now.
The President will be in Boston on the afternoon and evening of June 25, 2012.  There will be three events.  The big event will be at Symphony Hall.  This will be a large and exciting event that will be accessible to most budgets.  Tickets are $250 for the balcony and  $1000 or  $2500 for seats at table on the floor of the hall (pops style) ; hosts for the event (write or raise $10,000) will have the opportunity for a photo with our President!  Please respond ASAP-  we expect this event to sell out.
There will also be an afternoon round-table with the President limited to 25 people as well as an evening dinner party at a private home.  These events require a significant donation to attend.  If you are interested in one of the higher dollar events please contact me for more details at  mkarmel@womenforchange.com

MA Women for Obama in the news

The Boston Globe

12-year-old Cambridge girl gets her close-up

By Mark Shanahan and Meredith Goldstein

Globe Staff / March 12, 2012

As you probably know, first lady Michelle Obama was in Boston on Friday for some fund-raising events. What you probably don’t know is that the second to youngest guest at Obama’s event at the Institute of Contemporary Art with the Massachusetts Women for Obama was 12-year-old Cambridge resident Sophia Scanlan . (We hear that the youngest guest at the party was eight months old.)
