A fundraiser for Michael Czarnecki, founder of FootHills Publishing, will be held at Writers and Books, 740 University Avenue, Rochester, NY.
Sunday, July 22, beginning at 2pm
As you may know, Michael's house burned down over the weekend, and he lost everything, including items he uses in publishing. Michael has been an incredible promoter of poetry and poets, and many local poets owe their chapbooks and anthologies to his excellent work (and to the work of his wife, Carolyn!).
Any poet who would like to participate as a reader should get in touch with Wanda Schubmehl at marleneschubmehl@yahoo.com to be assigned a time to read. Plan on about 5-8 minutes per reader.
It is suggested that each reader bring a minimum of a $10 donation to Michael. Donations in any amount are welcome, and a contribution box will be available for audience members. Readers are also invited to bring a small hors d'oerve and/or drink of some kind to share. (Please do not bring anything which requires heating or cooling!)
