Dear Friends:
As many of know of the event happening of Oct 17th for
the World Trade Center Relief Fund in NYC and San
Francisco. But, there is an ironic outcome from the
remarkable outpouring of money to the various Sept 11
relief funds, there are many not-for-profit
organizations in the USA and else where that have not
been getting regular contributions. So, there are a
few different things that I plan to do:
Besides money, Rattapallax Press is contributing 1000
new books and copies of our back-issues from out
catalog to various not-for-profit organizations to
sell and keep 100% of the proceeds.
We will be donating 150 copies of Bill Kushner's book
to the NY Peer AIDS Education Coalition (NYPAEC).
Bill is a popular gay NYC poet associated with the St.
Mark's Poetry Project scene. In addition, Bill has
volunteered to host a few readings to raise funds for
NYPAEC.
I have asked all of writers/poets to select a
not-for-profit organization they support and committ
to raising funds for them through readings and books
sales.
I realize that I am small-fish, but hopefully this
will raise some critical funds and attention for
important not-for-profit organizations.
Cheers,
Ram Devineni
