Greetings Sisters and Brothers, Friends and Customers, Philanthropists and Investors,
As you are aware, Sisterspace and Books is back on the block! We re-opened our doors on November 22, 2009 at our new location: 3717 Georgia Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20010, right next door to the Georgia Avenue/Petworth Metro station.
Back in the day, Georgia Avenue was the location for black-owned businesses. Sisterspace and Books is apart of that tradition and we need you to support us, if we are to be around and able to do our work. We are happy to be back to serve the community – and we need your continued support.
Here are three ways you can be a part of this exciting rebirth of a community institution:
1. Shop – Come to the store and buy books or gift items (such as sweatshirts and jewelry) . We have great books for every age and a whole variety of interests! Also, consider purchasing a gift certificate for friends, family, or colleagues. Do you know someone graduating from high school or college? Do you know someone retiring or going on a vacation? Do you know someone getting married? What better gift from you than a book from or a gift certificate to Sisterspace and Books?
2. Spread the word – on Facebook, Twitter, email, and that old-fashioned way – “word of mouth.” We especially encourage you to ask groups, schools, businesses, and other organizations you know to make bulk purchases through Sisterspace and Books – this is a great way to generate revenue to support the classes, programs and special events that we all want. (see below)
3. Sponsor – Are you able to be a sponsor at the level of $20 a month, or more? You monthly sponsorship would help us keep the lights on and assist us with the other operating costs.
Your financial support is crucial at this time. We know that funds are short for everyone and your support – as little or as much as you can commit – is greatly appreciated!
Bring your sponsorship – cash, checks, or credit cards – to the store or you can pay securely online via Paypal as soon as you have read this. We appreciate your support of Sisterspace and Books and more importantly, we invite you to be a part of this great enterprise within our community.
Currently, Sisterspace and Books is operating as a business. We are also working to form a nonprofit support entity, Friends of Sisterspace and Books. If you want to be part of that effort, or need to make your contribution in a manner that is tax-deductable, please advise us.
In anticipation of your answering our appeal – a thousand thank yous!!
Peace and love,
We Walk by Faith, Not by Sight
Friends of Sisterspace and Books
