Nashville Kidlit Drink Night
April 28th, 2011 by jules
I haven’t posted about Nashville Kidlit Drink Nights in a while. We meet once a month (first Tuesday of each month, beginning at 6:30), and I just figured everyone assumed that, not to mention we have our own ways of communicating about these things. But here I am, touching base quickly all publicly at the blog, with two quick announcements regarding May’s upcoming Drink Night — for any new folks who may be interested in joining us.
This month, we will meet at a new location. We’re no longer at the wonderful Boscos in Hillsboro Village. Last month, we tried the Tavern on 1904 Broadway instead, and it worked out well, so we’ll be there again next week, the first Tuesday of May.
Secondly, this month, we’re going to blatantly copy the upcoming New York City Kidlit Drink Night (since they had such a smart idea) and take donations—a suggested $5, but any amount will do, even if only one dollar—to benefit Reading is Fundamental. Since a bill was recently signed that eliminated funding for RIF, the nation’s largest organization providing free books and literacy resources for children, this cut means that they need folks’ support now more than ever.
So, see you there, I hope:
6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Tavern
1904 Broadway
Nashville, TN
