We’ll continue to provide presentations, workshops & a slew of children’s activities in an all-day event that you won’t want to miss & that will remain absolutely FREE. So what's needed? Funding for an executive director who will coordinate all the goods things you expect from the festival & help execute these big plans. Currently, the Festival is running on the graces of our board of directors, all volunteers committed to the Festival who are hoping Kickstarter will save the day.
Here's the idea. Let’s own our literary tradition here in Sonoma County. Let’s commit to a better Book Festival where books & authors are celebrated & entry is free to all. Your donation makes that happen. This is one of those instances where you personally benefit from your contribution, AND the whole community benefits as well.

Sun 6/09 | Fighting Kids' Cancer with Lemonade
10th Annual National Lemonade, June 7-9. Hosting a fundraising lemonade stand was the inspired idea of ALSF founder Alexandra “Alex” Scott. True to the spirit of the phrase “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” Alex, at age 4, held a lemonade stand to help find a cure for all childhood cancers, including her own. Since that time, more than 20,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands have been held across the country. While volunteers hold stands throughout the year (often setting them up indoors, in cold weather seasons), National Lemonade Days is a time when volunteers everywhere can join forces as they hold stands simultaneously across the country. National Lemonade Days is a meaningful, nationwide event that started in Alex’s front yard & has grown to front yards across America. Most importantly, National Lemonade Days raises more than $1 million for childhood cancer research 1 cup at a time!
Held the weekend before Father's Day every June, this 3-day event (Friday - Sunday) is open to all who want to participate by holding their own fundraising stands or events. Gather your family, your co-workers or your friends & have fun creating your own Alex’s Lemonade Stand event. See the difference WE can make, in one weekend, together! |

Fri 9/20 | Blame Sally - Sebastopol
Premium Seating: $25, General Advance: $20. The 4 women who make up rising San Francisco-based folk band Blame Sally have some experience with improbable complexities & contradictions. Almost everything about the history of the group is contrary to conventional wisdom. For one thing, they put their individual careers aside to start the group when they were in their late 30s & 40s the age at which bands traditionally are supposed to break up & begin solo careers. For another, this is obviously an all-woman band "girl groups" usually being the province of youthful upstarts, not mature singer-songwriters. Splitting the frontwoman status among each of the 4 members goes against the agreed-upon maxim that every group needs a single focal point. And didn't they get the memo that women, in particular women in show biz, are supposed to be packing it in at this point, not making introductions? Actually, they did get that memo & promptly tossed it into the circular file.
