Bowl-A-Thon Fundraiser - Saturday April, 1

by midwestpagestop...

Bowl-A-Thon 2006 is here!

Last year, 20 volunteers were able to raise $2000! We hope for similar success this year. If you would like to participate with the collection of  sponsors and in the actual bowling event on Saturday, April 1st from 1:30-3:30pm at the Indiana Memorial Union's bowling alley, please notify Megan at mlselby@indiana.edu. We want to get a general idea of how many people plan to participate. Even though the event is happening on the IU campus, it is open to all Pages volunteers and anyone who wants to help raise some much-needed funds for our project. All forms can be found below, including the pledge collection sheet, a flyer/how-to sheet, and a more formal letter you can send to friends and family. Copies are also available at Boxcar. Thanks and good luck!

heart,
the pages team

Note - this event is not to be confused with last weekend's Bowl For Kids Sake. That was not related to Pages. the Bowl-A-Thon is the Pages fund-raiser.

Zine Distro

Starting this month, Midwest Pages to Prisoners is embarking on a new project aimed at making more available radical literature to prisoners in Indiana. The ‘zine distro’ will catalog over 115 zines on topics ranging from prison issues to queer and trans issues, from radical history to pieces written by prisoners in Indiana. The project is intended to compliment the work already being done by Pages by offering, on a smaller scale, literature more directed to people seeking specifically political material.
