Happy Holidays!
Thank you to all who came out to the BAC in November to hear
Tom Bonfiglio read. He thoroughly enjoyed his evening with the CSWRS. It was
great to see my friend, too!

Vandalism at the BAC
The BAC was
vandalized on Wednesday evening. The space was not only affected, but
the art as well. When I spoke with Jana Rush, the event coordinator of
the BAC, she estimated that the cost of repairs is close to $100,000.00
and the art, of course, is irreplaceable. The folks at the BAC truly
love their community and this is just unfortunate and disgusting.
So, if you can, please donate a monetary gift to the BAC to help them get back on their feet. They've been extremely gracious to us in the past, and this is one way in which we can show our sympathy and support.
Please make checks out to: The Business of Art Center
Please mail donations to: The Business of Art Center, 515 Manitou Ave., 80829
Also, this Saturday from 3 -- 5 p.m., come down to Venue 513 for a beverage to commiserate and show your support.
