The final countdown

Update #7 · Apr 17, 2012 · comment

Dearest supporters: Thank you forgetting us this far! In our most recent calculations - everyone who donated $35 or more (and thus will receive a book) also sponsored a book for an individual that donated their story. Thank you for that possibility.

As we wrap up we also wanted to invite you a

Early May Day (in April) Festival and Celebration

What? Food-- hotdogs, chili, an array of tasty desserts from the recipes of neighbors and friends

Festivities -- may pole dance, cake walk, raffle of prizes, games for kids, and more

Music/Poetry -- A Word and Song Open Mic Hosted by Fusion Youth Radio and featuring local musicians and artists(Got a poem you want to say or a song you want to sing?  Come and share it with us!)

Soundwalk -- the inauguration of the History of Homes Soundwalk, an audio tour of Northside featuring oral histories from over a dozen community members (We'll have a sneak preview available for you on Saturday!)

When? Saturday, April 21 from 1-4 pm

Where?  The lawn/grounds of St. Joseph CME Church (510 West Rosemary Street)

Free to all.  Spread the word and come ready to celebrate our community and the coming of May!

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to sharing our stories with you!

See you around the May Pole!

Lauren and Monica
