For a number of years they have organized writers in the area to participate in a fundraiser called: 30 Poems in November!<br />Each poet writes every day and asks people in their own network to make a donation (or "sponsor" their activities). Writers go about this in various different ways. I have been posting the poems on my blog and on Facebook and Twitter every day, promoting the fundraiser and asking for donations. They have an online fundraising platform (https://cnam.org/civicrm/pcp/info?reset=1&id=132) I've also been posting the artwork by my kids to Facebook. I've raised about $525 so far, and the overall goal of the fundraiser is $50,000. Some people are more private about their writing, but I like the sharing, personally. Yay! Thank you for asking. xo Marian<br />Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030161532713347225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-43748624188167583642017-11-26T13:47:22.169-06:002017-11-26T13:47:22.169-06:00Hi Marian!

She has decreed next month "Inkcember" or some such and will be inking all of her drawings, so perhaps I can make an album of them to share for anyone who is interested.<br />Also! Haha, I should have mentioned this earlier: Try a poem with Drama-Romance-Bloodshed. Apparently these three words go together! <br />:) And now I'm coming around to visit all of you.
