Participate in Page Ahead Fundraiser Wednesday by Dining Out

Going out to eat this Wednesday? You can dine out and help Page Ahead at the same time!! Page Ahead's fundraiser is tomorrow, Wednesday, September 28.

Page Ahead is Washington state's leading provider of children's literacy programs, serving 55,000 kids. Local restaurants will donate a percentage of sales tomorrow for Dish Up Literacy. Fellow SCBWI WWA member Julie Reinhardt's restaurant, Smokin' Pete's BBQ, is participating as well as locales in the greater Seattle area.

It's an easy fundraiser - all folks have to do is go out and eat! For the full list of restaurants and more information about Dish Up Literacy, go to their website.

Edible Book Contest

Julie Reinhardt was kind enough to pass the word along:

Calling all cooks and writers! I just discovered this via Twitter. There is an edible book contest by the Seattle Edible Book Festival. Last year's winner was Goodnight Moon Pie. You can see a picture on Edible Seattle's facebook page.

Deadline is in a week! Register by April 8. The event is on April 10. Get your creative hat on and make your version of...

-The Secret Life of Peas
-The Lion, The Witch, and the Rhubarb
-Jane Pear

OK, those were just off the top of my head. I'm sure you can think of something much, much better.

I dunno. I'd eat Jane Pear. But nothing named Raw Chester. Eww. Visit Julie's blog for a link to entry info.
