After a long and humid summer off, the Other Means Reading Series is back in action!
We will be kicking off our 2008-2009 season on Tuesday, September 23rd with JOSHUA FURST (THE SABOTAGE CAFE) and IRINA REYN (WHAT HAPPENED TO ANNA K) reading in support of PEN American Center.
The Other Means Reading Series was founded to initiate and encourage meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships between New York City writers, lit fans, and community organizations. Each month, three writers collectively choose a local charity to support. At our readings, attendees can learn more about the charity, make donations on the spot, or find out about volunteer opportunities.
All money collected through our $5 suggested donation goes to that month’s charity. Other Means aims to engage not just writers and charities, but to help people change their ideas about charity. By working with local community organizations and mobilizing attendees to give small donations, Other Means hopes to change people’s minds about how much you have to give to make a difference—to show that small donations matter, and that charity isn’t just for the rich.
