Friends of the Austin Poetry Society,



We're making up our annual Yearbook, including the list of members for
2008-2009. Last year we reached a total of 136 members, and this year we would
love to add your name to the list. The vitality of our all-volunteer
organization depends on the membership, so we encourage you to send in a dues
check if you would like to work with us.



Dues for the year are only $15 (or $25 for a patron membership), and you may
send them in now to the address below for a full-year's membership.



You will receive the monthly Newsletter, free entry in the Monthly Contests, a
much discounted entry fee for the Annual Contests, and the opportunity to know
some wonderful poets. The featured readers in our Fourth Thursday Open
Microphones are all APS members, and we would love to hear your poems at one of
our monthly sessions. Mainly though, you'll know that you're supporting poetry
in Austin.



This Thursday, July 24th, the featured reader will be Dawn Ambuehl-Sadek, a
well-known reader at La Tazza Fresca, and Dawn will be followed by our usual
round-robin reading open to all poets. I hope you can join us there, from 7:00
to 9:00 p.m., at the New World Deli, 4101 Guadalupe. The food is great too.



We're looking forward to another good year of contests, workshops, seminars and
readings. A copy of our annual questionnaire is attached, in case you would
like to print it and send it with your dues. That form provides the option for
sponsoring an annual contest too.



Rob
