Authors
This is the 4th event, and in the past we’ve donated all raffle proceeds to the Battered Women’s Shelter, but this year we’ll be donating to the CONDUCTIVE LEARNING CENTER of Greater Cincinnati, a local school specializing in education for children with spina bifida and cerebral palsy.
We haven’t forgotten the shelter, though. I organized an anthology with contributions from myself and 11 other authors, titled “THE POWER OF LOVE,” that will be published through Berkley in June 08, and proceeds from the sales of that book will go to the Battered Women’s Shelter.
We’ll also continue our fundraiser for the troops, including proceeds from a cookbook that I put together with donated recipes from authors, radio personalities, and a few readers, published through Samhain.
And of course, our event always includes one very special raffle for THE ANIMAL ADOPTION FOUNDATION.
We try to help as many causes as we can, and my volunteers are incredible, not to mention the readers and authors who show up and help!
If you’re an author or industry professional interested in attending, please contact me at lorilfoster@gmail.com
We’d love to include you!
