Anamesa Spring 2010 Launch Party, May 6 (After Draper Party!)

A message from Lindsey Schneider, the editor-in-chief of Anamesa.

Friends,

It is with immense pleasure that I am writing to you to let you know that the Anamesa Spring 2010 issue is about to come back from the printer, and that deserves a celebration. Please join the staff, contributors, and friends of Anamesa at large for a launch party to acknowledge all of the hard work that went into this latest issue, and frankly, just to have a great time. There will be food to munch on and the first 40 attendees can enjoy a drink on us! I can't think of a better after-party for the Draper end of year party--after that winds down, just hop over to the Stoned Crow and meet us for a night cap.

Here's the details:
Stoned Crow
85 Washington Place
New York, New York 10011

Thursday, May 6 from 7 to 9 pm

The journal will be available for pick up at the party and later in the Draper office at 14 University Place. Also, if you are interested in contributing to the Fall 2010 issue of Anamesa, please send along your non-fiction, fiction, poetry, art, photography, screenplays, etc (but nothing over 6,000 words long) to us at anamesa.journal@gmail.com.

See you on May 6,
Best,
Lindsey Schneider
editor in chief

Great volunteer opportunity available right now!

Draper student Rick Halmo acts as Vice President at Daytime Moon Creations, Inc., a non-profit organization helping special needs children perform in theatrical productions. This year, Daytime Moon is working with Downtown Little League to help coach "Challenger League Baseball." Rick cannot speak highly enough of his experiences with Challenger League.

Challenger League is looking for outgoing and fun volunteers to work with them and their athletes from 10am-12pm each Saturday morning. The season has already begun, but volunteers are still needed for some or all of the remaining weekend games, through the season's end in June.

Games take place at the baseball fields off of West Street and Murray Street in the financial district - about a 5 minute walk from the World Trade Center. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! Rick and his team will work with all of volunteers to enable them to help the players in a comfortable and, most importantly, fun environment. This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone interested in making a profound difference in the lives of special needs children and their families.

If you are interested or have any questions please contact Rick Halmo at rick.halmo@gmail.com.
