Please join the Writers' Dojo and Reading Local Portland in raising relief funds for Haiti. While the first wave of urgency has passed, Haiti will continue to need help for a long time to come. Mercy Corps, a world-class international aid organization with its headquarters right here in Portland, is working to help repair Haiti's infrastructure--and we all have a part to play.
The Portland literary community is strong and energetic, so we've set a goal for this event to raise at least $3,000 to help Mercy Corps' ongoing work in Haiti.
An All-Star Lineup of readers includes: Ariel Gore, Margaret Malone, Laura Moulton, Ben Parzybok, Kevin Sampsell, and Tom Spanbauer.
Music provided by the fantastic duo Sweeter Than Later.
Enjoy Free Cameron Hughes Wine, and a Prize Raffle, where items like a $100 gift card to Broadway Books, tickets to Backfence PDX, a Dark Horse Comics package, and much more will be up for grabs.
Doors open 6:30pm, Readings begin at 7pm.
