An evening of music + food to benefit the Poetry Book Project
This Sat 4/30 @ the Harp will be a night of music, food and spoken word poetry to support the Poetry Book Project, a collection of poetry written by the men of the 2100 Lakeside Men’s Homeless Shelter.
For a $25 donation, ($20 if you pay in advance online) you will partake in an appetizer buffet, live music by Cats on Holiday, drink specials, a free raffle, and be recognized in the published poetry book as a supporter.
All proceeds from the party will go towards the publishing costs of a collection of poetry written by the men of the 2100 Lakeside Men’s Homeless Shelter. The book will be published this summer, and there will be several book signings/poetry readings around town to celebrate its publication.
If you can not attend the event but would still like to support the cause, you may make a donation by calling 216.658.7204, or by going online to http://LutheranMetro.org.
The 2100 Lakeside Men’s Homeless Shelter and the Poetry Book Project are programs of the Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry. This Saturday is going to be a beautiful early spring evening; it will be nice enough to even have some cocktails on the patio at the Harp. Cats on Holiday will do a stellar job playing their unique blend of Cajun rock and swamp boogie music. The Harp will put out a great buffet of appetizers and finger food, and the joint will be filled with some colorful people, old and new friends, a knucklehead or two, and hopefully some new faces, all having a good time for a great cause.
Be sure to attend Voices of Homelessness at 8PM on Sat 4/30 @ the Harp, 4408 Detroit Avenue, Cle. For more info visit http://LutheranMetro.org.
