	On November 15 we will be launching Drop, a campaign dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and mobilizing young people to create and execute solutions to solve global water crises. The DROP campaign, will be kicked off with a DROP summit that is hosted and co-sponsored by the Communications, Design and Technology Department at Parsons, The New School for Design, in NYC on November 15, 2008. For the Summit, YouthNoise is handpicking 75 socially minded and engaged youth leaders and aspiring social entrepreneurs to convene for a day of creative collaboration and innovative problem solving all around the issues of water access and conservation. Participants will receive a crash course in water issues and will proceed to form teams and develop projects to address the problems at hand. Workshops and exciting events will be led by a team of DROP Coalition partners from Food and Water Watch to UNICEF. The Summit will also commence the 3-12 month long DROP internship. YouthNoise and it’s partners will be highly involved with the resulting projects and will continue to offer support and opportunities to participants as their projects grow into movements. One of these supportive efforts will begin with a fundraiser on the evening of November 15th, 2008. We will be hosting this exciting fundraiser at the NYC Fire Museum on the evening of the Nov. 15th. The evening promises to be exciting performances from up and coming young artists Naia Kete and Martin Purtill, spoken word artist Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai, informative installations from Parson’s New School of Design CDT Program, creative merchandise, drinks and much more. Doors will open at 8:30pm with a suggested donation of $15. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to these campaigns. And don’t fret- it will be a bottled water free event! You can RSVP and receive a ticket for a free cocktail, get the address and directions, and obtain more information at www.youthnoise.com/drop/rsvp. We would love to invite you and the rest of your staff to this event, and to support the young people in their water campaign endeavors. This evening will prove to be an exciting one, and we look forward having your involvement. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
