          present... SOCIAL IMPACT GIVING: Strategies & Opportunities for Giving Season 2011   Join fast forward fund & the Social Innovators Collective on Thursday, November 17th 7pm @ Green Spaces TriBeCa for an exclusive pre-holiday event. Guests will enjoy a cocktail tasting of FAIR. spirits - America’s first fair trade spirit company, PLUS delectable treats, sweets and drinks from local, organic vendors, and premiere networking with NYC social entrepreneurs, investors, & innovators.   BONUS: A spectacular presentation gives you a sneak digital peak at beautifully made, thoughtfully sourced holiday gifts and donation ideas from around the world. You’ll leave with stories about the creators and vendors sourcing the gifts for family, friends and colleagues, put a smile on their faces AND make a huge difference in the lives of others. Exquisite cards, candles, clothing, jewelry, toys, home, bath and body products, electronics, gift donations and more….we have gift ideas for everyone!   Despite tough economic conditions, The National Retail Association estimates over $4 billion dollars will be spent on gifts this holiday season, 75% of which are items the recipient doesn’t even want! Let’s turn that around this year! Celebrate the giving season with amazing gifts that support real people’s needs at home & around the world.     **** Please direct inquires to ANGELICA@FASTFORWARDFUND.ORG ***** SPECIAL THANKS to   Green Spaces - Serving a new culture of innovation   We provide the infrastructure for triple bottom line companies to work and grow.
