Friends of Austin Poetry,

This Thursday June 25, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., our Fourth Thursday
Open Mic features Dripping Springs Poets including Thirsty Thursday
host Nancy Fierstien, Brad Highum, Angie Meyer, Thom Moon 10, and
maybe even more. This is a benefit to help Thom Moon 10 visit his
mother in Australia. It may be his last chance to do that. Come
prepared to help. Bring poems to read in the open mic. NeWorlDeli,
4101 Guadalupe. Contact: Elzy, poetryplease@mail.utexas.edu.

You receive these e-mails because we believe you are interested in
Austin poetry. If you don't want to see them, let us know. For some of
you, this is the first you've received from us, and for others, you've
received our e-mail Museletter for years.

If you want to be a member of APS, now is a good time to join:
      you will be listed in the member directory in the Yearbook for 2009-2010;
      you get a free copy of the 60th Anniversary Anthology, and we'll include
          include one of your poems too;
      you'll get all the Museletters in paper, September through May;
      you get to enter our annual contests in the spring for a modest fee, and
      you'll know you're helping to encourage poetry in Austin.
I attach a membership form, also available on our website,
www.austinpoetrysociety.org. Join us if you like.

Keep on writing.
