It’s time for Fishtrap’s third annual Stay Home and Read a Book Ball! This fun event provides a great excuse to stay home in your PJ's, curl up with a good book and support your favorite literary non-profit. Try out a new author, pick a best-seller, choose a classic or re-read an old favorite, and tell us about it! Post a comment here or on our Facebook page. Check in regularly to see what others are reading – you might be inspired. Then, think about what you’d spend on an evening out: dinner, drinks, coffee and desert, a movie, gas, a new outfit, babysitter. Total that up, and click the button on the right to make your tax-deductible donation. No heels, no stockings, no ties, no crowds. You save time and energy, while enjoying a quiet evening at home, and your support allows Fishtrap to continue providing creative programs to nourish the literary community. It’s the best event you WON’T attend!
