Red Emma's is extremely happy to announce that we've secured a location and a date for the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Radical Bookfair. We've locked in June 30th-July 2nd for a weekend of books, workshops, lectures, musical performances, and whatever else we can come up with, and now we need you to help us plan it and pull it off.

While Red Emma's is going to be one of the primary sponsors of the event(along with, among others, Philadelphia's Wooden Shoe Books who will be organizing a parallel infoshop and radical bookstore encuentro that weekend), we're looking to open up the organization of the event to as many interested groups and individuals as possible.

So, if you'd like to:

• Suggest workshops, speakers, and performers

• Help plan fundraising events (we'd really like to be able to cover travel costs for out of town speakers)

• Help contact presses, bookstores, and other groups who'd be interested in tabling at the bookfair (we want to know who you'd like to see at the bookfair)

• Help with publicity and advertising (radical graphic designers especially welcome!)

• Volunteer during the bookfair itself (we're going to need staffers, greeters, movers, cooks, media-makers, sound technicians, performers, workshop leaders, facilitators, moderators, etc. and then some)

Then come to our first open organizational meeting this coming Monday, November 21, 2005 at 7PM at Red Emma's, or email us at bookfair@redemmas.org with your suggestions.
