Thanks to everyone who made the event this past Tuesday a huge success. Paul, Charise and Sarah gave incredible readings, despite the manic clicking of the microphone. Special thanks to Housing Work’s Development Director for taking the time to speak. With 35 people in attendance we raised $127 dollars. Pretty good, for collecting with an ice tea jug.
Pictures to come! Writers from Metropolis Magazine will be reading on May 29th!
