CONTENTS OF TABLE
1) GREETING
Greetings, Friends!
We wrapped up very nicely Philadelphia’s 6th Annual Black Women’s Arts Festival on August 2nd, 2009. Thanks to all who participated and helped in any way! More is soon forthcoming in that sentiment!
2) SUMMER BREAK/ART WANTED FOR THEMED JOURNALS/COMMITTEE-VOLUNTEER-INTERN OPPORTUNITIES
We are taking a much-needed summer break. We will be returning to business as usual in early-to-mid September. We look forward to regaling you all with tales of what happened and lists and lists of friends of BWAF you may want to network with.
In the meantime, please do keep the emails coming to info(at)BWAFphilly.org about the following and we will reply when we return to full swing:
*To submit original art/work for our forthcoming Themed Journals
*To inquire about or be a member of the Fundraising Committee
*To volunteer (visit www.BWAFphilly.org for different opportunities)
*To be an unpaid intern
Again, all inquiries can be sent via email to: info(at)BWAFphilly.org or phone at 215.951.0330, ext. 2108.
2) OUTGOING CREATIVE DIRECTOR / INCOMING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
August 2009 is Monica McIntyre’s last month as BWAF’s Creative Director, and ends her involvement with BWAF as anything other than a major fan! After 5 years of dedicated work to grow and produce BWAF, Monica is on to greener, less-stressful pastures!
As of August 4, 2009, Cassendre Xavier, BWAF Founder and former Director, has taken the new title of Executive Director, is the main organizer and contact at BWAF, and has rededicated herself to growing the organization. Cassendre will need your support and is always open to various expressions of assistance and/or advice.
She can be reached via email to: info(at)BWAFphilly.org or phone at 215.951.0330, ext. 2108.
5) BWAF PAGES FREE ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY
Hey. Do you do neat stuff, or does someone you know do? Would you like some free awesome advertising for yourself or that person? Is there anything cool going on in Philly that you would like others to know about? Can you recommend a good acupuncturist or day care center?
Do you have the best stylist in the world? Tell us about it!
We’re building the online version of the BWAF Pages – a Community Resource Directory and Coupon Book scheduled for release at next year’s Festival. We can only sell advertising when our website is chock full of valuable info. So until it is, we are going to be offering free advertising.
So, email us a 100 word “blurb” (ad” including the description of the product, service, artist, opportunity, class/workshop, resource, etc) plus contact info, and we’ll include it in the online version, which you can view at www.BWAFpages.com. Ideally, we will then attract actual paying advertisers to fund the publishing of BWAF Pages print edition, as well as using the advertising funds to also just keep BWAF staffed and growing.
Contact: info(at)BWAFphilly.org or phone at 215.951.0330, ext. 2108.
