Hi [Invitee],
[Personal Note – Where have you seen them lately? Have they attended this event with you before? Have you worked on project together recently? Did you attend an event that they invited you to (quid pro quo asks can be the easiest)? If they are the type that will come for the networking opportunities – Highlight that this is great opportunity to do just that! Lastly, share with them why you are passionate about WCV.]
Because I know you value Washington’s environment and believe in acting to protect it, I wanted to invite you to join me virtually at Washington Conservation Voters’ Gathering of Environmental Champions on Thursday, October 14th.
I hope you’ll join me virtually for lunch to learn about WCV’s 2021 work and listen to a roundtable discussion about the Lower Snake River Dam.
Again, the event will be Thursday, October 14th, 12:00pm to 1:00pm, held virtually. Please check your calendar and let me know if you’re able to come. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased HERE.
Let’s join with WCV to make Washington’s environment a political priority – I hope to have you with us on October 14th!

The event will be on Thursday October 14th, 12:00pm to 1:00pm virtually. The program will start at noon. Tickets are on sale HERE for $50.

Thank you,
