*Snowed off.

The official launch of our target ward campaign in East Finchley came to an abrupt end on Saturday with a sudden snowstorm. However, we had already done two photoshoots with the local papers, recruited a new member, got several donations and distributed 800 leaflets. We then retreated to a local pub where we conducted the interview with the Hendon Times.

*Christie’s Announces Green Auction “A Bid To Save The Earth”

In order to drive awareness throughout Earth Week, Christie’s International has announced the 2010 Inaugural Green Auction titled, “A Bid to Save the Earth.”

The green auction, which takes place on April 22, will include major artwork, celebrity experiences, upscale eco-vacations, exquisite jewelry, and luxury items.

Proceeds from the sale will be divided among four non-profit environmental organizations: Conservation International, Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council and the Central Park Conservancy.

“We are inspired and honored to convene top members of the philanthropic, environmental, business and cultural communities to benefit the environment,” said Edward Dolman, CEO of Christie’s. “We are equally pleased to present a stellar evening auction and to partner with NBC Universal in telling this exciting story with Charitybuzz in building such a compelling silent auction; and of course our four charity partners, who will do what they do best with the proceeds: advocate for the environment.”

*Same old tories.

"Of course there is a big role for us in trying to make sure that conditions are right to get more young people unemployed."
