Announcing the June, 2011 Lineup!

The countdown is on-- just 3 weeks to go before opening night of our 5th season!

Sponsors have once again been amazingly generous-- there will be lots of smiles this summer as the kids get on the bus to Kamp Kiwanis! And authors and poets have been most kind in their offer to donate their time and talent.

And we know our bakers are readying some great desserts!

(By the way, join us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?sk=group_59942291706)--and feel free to pass this email on to friends!)

We have had over 250 people (so far) request to read--once again we have to turn away too many friends and talented people--certainly the hardest part of this endeavor.

That said, we are still finalizing our July and August calendars--but here is the June, 2011 lineup:

6/6/2011
Judy J R Turek Linda Tagliaferro
Talia Carner Elizabeth Rowe
6/13/2011
Tom Phelan Louisa Calio
Steven Schmidt Roxanne Hoffman
6/20/2011
Richard Vetere Cindi Sansone-Braff
Lloyd Abrams Darren Sardelli
6/27/2011
Robert Lipsyte Barb Reiher-Meyers
Gayl Teller Gail Goldstein


Sponsors

There is still time to be a Sponsor or a Program Patron!
All funds raised (all--not net--all) by the program help send underprivileged kids to Kamp Kiwanis. Sponsorships are $150 and include your name and logo on signs, posters and the thousands of flyers we distribute, as well as on all announcements (including every email we send).

We are also offering "Program Patrons" for $25. "Program Patrons" will have their names listed on the weekly program we will be distributing each week.

If you would like to become a sponsor or a Program Patron, send your check made payable to "Oceanside Kiwanis" to 68 Yorktown Street, Rockville Centre, NY 11570-- email or include your logo and the listing you want us to print.

If you are interested in being a sponsor, please contact me for more for more information.


Audience

Whether you read for us this year or not, I encourage you to come on down, every Monday in June, July and August, for a nice, quiet summer's evening on Schoolhouse Green!!
Many thanks!

Call for Authors, Poets & Sponsors!!

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that the Kiwanis Club of Oceanside, NY announces our Fifth Annual Summer Gazebo Readings series.

The Summer Gazebo Readings feature 4 published authors/poets each Monday evening throughout the summer, set on a village green in Oceanside. An eclectic mix of authors (non-fiction and fiction) and poets read from their works before large, friendly, receptive crowds.


Readers
If you would like to be a Reader, please do the following:

Send an email(no attachments) giving the following information:

Name

Contact i
nformation (including a number you can be reached on the day of the event in case of inclement weather)

List your
available dates. The Readings are held each Monday in June, July & August-- we do an Independence Day program on the first Monday in July-- Please list at least three available dates.
The general genre of your work (poetry, non-fiction or fiction prose, etc.)

The only restrictions are time (10 minutes, strictly enforced) and the material, as read, must be appropriate for general audiences (think basic cable, not HBO/Showtime).

For more information, see our website: http://summergazeboreadings.blogspot.com/2009/01/readers-guidelines-faq.html

Spaces are limited and will be allocated at the discretion of the committee. One of our criteria will be to include a mix of genres (some poetry, some non-fiction prose, some fiction), so while we won't ask you what specifically you are reading--we will not "judge" or preview material-- we would like to know the general genre of your work.


Please note that we ended last year with over 200 people on our waiting list-- please do not be offended if we can't fit you in. We hope to announce the summer's lineup by May 1.
