Sponsor Tommy Hays in Mountain of Words Write-A-thon

Local author Tommy Hays writes:

I’m a big believer in our area’s public schools, having had two children go through them.  They were served wonderfully well.  But over the past few years our schools have become strapped and our teachers have been pressed to do more and more with less and less.  This makes a worthy and supportive organization like Asheville Writers in the Schools and Community all the more important, serving as it does a very special need — giving opportunities to our children to explore and improve writing in many different ways.

This is why I’m participating in the 2nd annual Mountain of Words Write-A-thon.  I want to support the work of Asheville Writers in the Schools and Community. This non-profit organization does great work with creativity and literacy by connecting writers with children, youth and families through innovative programs. (Find out more by visiting ashevillewritersintheschools.org)

Just click this link* and sponsor me — I’ll be writing as much as I can for AWITSC between now and November 8th.

Want to send a check? Make it out to Asheville Writers in the Schools, mail to:
347 Kenilworth Road,
Asheville, NC 28805
(and put my name in the memo line!)

Now’s the time for us to step up and show our support for the children in our community and for the important place of the arts in their lives.
Thanks!!
