Kiva and Etsy Get Down in NYC

If you're in the New York City area, join us Tuesday, March 4th, for a good cause and a good time as we team up with Design 21 and Good magazine for Kiva's first local event.

Be sure to RSVP as space is limited. We hope to see you there, but even if you can't make it, take a moment to learn a little bit about Kiva, the organization "that lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world: empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty."

Etsy wants to help spread the word about micro-development. Rob Kalin, Etsy's founder, is very interested in new models for helping independent artists and entrepreneurs make a living making things. To read more about his vision and what we're trying to achieve with the company, see Rob's post Etsy's First Five Years. We recommend Banker to the Poor by Muhamamd Yunus, about the Grameen Bank — a project in the same vein as Kiva.

What exactly IS the event? Just a social mingling cocktail kind of thing? And it's free, or you have to subscribe in order to go? Kind of ambiguous...
