Tayari's Blog: Make A Donation, I'll Send You A Book

I have an idea:
If you make a donation to help with Hurricane Katrina Relief, I'll send you a signed hardcover copy of one my books-- Leaving Atlanta or The Untelling.

If you donate through Network For Good, they will give you a nice email receipt that you can forward to me (and use for your taxes.) If you already have Leaving Atlanta and The Untelling, I'd be glad to sign the book for a friend and mail it directly to that person.

I've been asked to clarify the procedure:

1.You go to www.networkforgood.com and make a donation to Katrina relief

2.Then, they will send you a receipt via email. (Don't you love technology!)

3.You forward the receipt to me and tell me who to sign and send the book to! Here's my email: info@tayarijones.com

4. Quick as a bunny, I'll get your book in the mail!

Your idea is a wonderful one. I'll donate and I'll even set up something like it on my site.

Tayari, you are a true sister and a good person. I have your book already and I think what you are doing is wonderful. I have donated to American Red Cross Desaster Relief fund and my book club You Go Girl will be taking up a collection at our September meeting and sending. I hope other book clubs do like wise.

Bless you

Tayari,

This is a great and generous idea. I posted it on my blog. And if other authors are doing similar relief efforts, let me know and I'll post those as well to help get the word out. blackbookblog@yahoo.com.

I love the concept and people, don't forget that their cars down there have been seriously flooded so consider car donation.
Peace and god bless,
