Planning continues for the Catalyst 8 Mad Hatter Tea Party, set for February 24th at the Allan House. This is going to be a good one. Maker's Mark and Tito's are the liquor sponsors. The Southern Sirens burlesque group will be performing, and we will have models dressed up as various characters from Alice in Wonderland. Need I say more? Ok, one more thing: Catalyst 8 runs the Boost Rental Subsidy Program, which helps emerging performing arts groups pay for use of the Rollins Theatre at the Long Center. We're funding over 100 nights of performances this year. Also, Austin Habitat Young Professionals will have our annual Build the Love fundraiser on February 3rd. Like last year, our generous pals at Moonshine are giving us the venue. It will be a lot of fun as well. You can't go wrong with an evening of live music, wine tasting, and tasty food all for $25/$35 (member/non-member). And, of course, funds raised go to help build affordable housing in Austin.
