STROLLING OF THE HEIFERS 2009

Calling all Write Action members:

Write Action will once again march in the Strolling of the Heifers parade on Saturday, June 6th. We’d love to have you join us for this fun occasion. Write Action T-shirts will be available to purchase at cost and wear along the route. Contact Write Action by calling 254-9595, or email info@writeaction.net, or just show up! We’ll be congregating on Flat Street – look for our banner. We invite you – and challenge you — to come up with a sign to carry that connects writing/literature with agriculture, cows, etc. Example: “Literature is milk for the mind and heart.” Get creative! And join us for a stroll with the cows.

As in the past two years, we’ll have a table on the Retreat grounds. This year, we will again have a collection of books authored by Write Action members donated to raise money to help keep us doing what we do. We will have some hot-off-the-press copies of Tim Mayo’s new book, The Kingdom of Possibilities, and Jacqueline Gens’ chapbook, Primo Pensiero, among them. If you have a book or books you’d like to donate to the cause – and those of you who already have, once again, Thank you! – you may bring it/them by on Saturday morning to our table, or leave it in the box provided in the hallway of Arlene Distler’s house at 22 Prospect Street in Brattleboro. Someone will be at the table starting at 10 a.m. Saturday morning. Specify if it’s a 50-50 split or 100% donation on a card with your name and book title. *This year we will have newly minted Write Action T-shirts for sale with our adorable literary cow logo, in 5 colors, all cotton, including a cap-sleeve woman’s style, and in sizes S-XL. Hear about plans underway to celebrate Write Action’s 10th birthday (2010), the addition to our web site of Members’ Pages, and other new and exciting developments. You may even get to meet one of our illustrious Write Action Radio Hour hosts! And let us know what you’re up to – if we have room, we’ll give you space for your flyers, cards, etc.
