To the Editor:

Friday the 13th was a lucky night for People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos (P&S/G&C). Enthusiastic supporters gathered at the Nassau Club to hear celebrated poet James Richardson read from his work and talk about his life as a poet.

It was also an excellent opportunity to share some news about changes for P&S/G&C. Our new direction will build on community partnerships sharing the programs and workshops we currently offer to adolescents and adults, many of whom come from environments plagued by poverty, violence, and failing educational systems to experience the power of literature and reading.

For our guests and supporters we want to say many thanks/muchas gracias.
