Coming Up
Dear Friends of Still Waters,
Help us keep the doors wide open for children in Bushwick!
Still Waters in a Storm, the neighborhood sanctuary for reading and writing, is launching an ambitious online fundraising campaign through IndieGoGo, with fabulous prizes for donors!
How to help:
Please GIVE what you can, and leave a COMMENT--more comments means more exposure on the IndieGoGo site--and FORWARD the campaign far and wide, with a personal note from you to your friends, colleagues, family, everyone you know!
Put a link on Facebook or Twitter or your own website! Maybe the company you work for would like to sponsor inner-city literacy? Or a group of buddies can pool resources to claim a prize? Any and every amount gives Brooklyn kids a chance to catch up, defy expectations, and live a literate, prosperous life!
All donations are tax-deductible!
Muchisimas gracias!
In 2011, we welcome poets, Sharon Olds and Tom Sleigh, novelists Calvin Baker, Salman Rushdie, Colm Toibin, Patrick McGrath, Francisco Goldman, Joseph O'Neill, and Emily Barton, singer-songwriter John Ewbank, Larry Smith, founder of the Six-Word Memoir, bestselling author Julie Powell, writers from the TV series "Nurse Jackie", visual artist Satoshi Okada, photographer Ashley Gilbertson, playwright and theater artist Carlyle Brown, journalist Caitlin Kelly, short story genius Deborah Eisenberg, actor and playwright Wallace Shawn, and actress and playwright Florencia Lozano, among other fabulous people!

Stay tuned.
