<h3>Yard Sale - Saturday, June 14th<br>
Asylum Auction - Sunday, June 15th</h3></center>
<p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify">As part of our fundraising efforts for this year the Poets'
Asylum will hold <b>Yard Sale, Auction and Art Sale</b>. The yard sale will
be held on Saturday, June 14th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. outside The
Q Cafe (362 Chandler Steet, Worcester, MA). Expect a wide variety of
stuff such as books, DVDs, stuffed animals, small appliances and more.
Come browse the goods and maybe you'll find a gem you can't live
without.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify">The following night, Sunday, June 15th, we'll hold the
<b>Annual Asylum Auction</b> as part of the weekly <u>Poets' Asylum</u> reading
at The Q Cafe. We'll have an extended open reading with a bit of auction
action thrown in for fun. This is our big event to raise the money needed to
get the Slam team to Nationals. Nationals are in Madison, WI and our expenses
include registrations, airfare, and lodging for the team and coach. All told
we expect to need over $3000 this year.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify">Finally we will hold an <b>Art Sale</b> all month long at The Q
Cafe. We have art work contributed by many friends of the Asylum that
we adorn the walls of the The Q during the month of June. All the
pieces will be priced to move so stop by and pick up something pretty
to hang on your wall.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify">We are seeking donations of good condition items for both the
yard sale and auction. Items for donation and such can be brought to the
regular Sunday night reading on June 8th at The Q Cafe. Or drop an
e-mail to <a href="mailto:host@poetsasylum.org">host @
poetsasylum.org</a> to reach Dave, Liz or Cyndi.</p>
