Events for November 2017

30 Poems in November!  is a well-known tradition.  Over 60 people commit to write a poem a day during the month of November to raise funds to support  Center for New Americans' free classes for immigrants.  They enlist support from family and friends (over 700 of them!), and often share some of the poems they write.  

The event culminates in a Reading & Celebration at the Poetry Center at Smith College on December 13th.

Business sponosors of this event will receive publicity at the Reading, publicity on Center for New Americans' Facebook page, and an opportunity to support the immigrants in our community who are also employees in many of our organizations.
