We're Going To Nationals!

Thanks to the generosity of the community the Poets' Asylum has met the
$1000 by April 26th goal established by slammaster Bill
MacMillan<http://community.livejournal.com/poetsasylum/89408.html>.
That means we will be sending a team to the 2009 National Poetry Slam in
West Palm Beach, FL. We appreciate all of the support so far.

Next up is the task of raising the remaining $1500 to get the team to West
Palm Beach (and back), cover the hotel room, pay for PSI memberships for the
team members and maybe give the team a bit toward food. We are looking
toward our always supportive community for their assistance in raising that
money. If you have an idea for a fundraiser that you are willing to organize
please drop an email to webmaster @ poetsasylum . org<webmaster at poetsasylum.org>
