ORGANIZING UPDATES:
***********************

-> Accessibility Statement: The Anarchist Bookfair Collective strives to
create an accessible event. If you have any needs that are not adddressed
by our Accessibility Statement, please contact us. To see the
Accessibility Statement, please consult:
http://anarchistbookfair.taktic.org/accessibility_statement.html. The
Bookfair is hosted at CEDA, a community centre. CEDA has a policy of no
alcohol or other drugs and we ask all participants in the Bookfair to
respect this.


-> Posters and Publicity: This year's main Bookfair poster and flyer are
ready! We need your help to help distribute them asap. If you're from
out-of-town, you can download the posters by visiting:
http://anarchistbookfair.taktic.org/downloads.html. If you are from the
Montreal-area and want to help with local postering and flyering, please
get in touch! We need your help to spread the word, far-and-wide. Our
publicity is not just aimed at anarchists, but also folks who might be
curious about anarchism and anarchist ideas.


-> Table Space: To request table space at the bookfair, please e-mail
anarchistbookfair at taktic.org or phone 514-859-9090. If you haven't tabled
at the Bookfair before, please include a description of your group. The
deadline to request table space is April 15, 2005!


-> Volunteers: As always, the Bookfair relies on the support of
volunteers. We need help with our kidz programme, with set-up and
take-down, with the welcoming table and with a variety of other tasks. If
you're from the Montreal-area and can help as a volunteer either before,
during or after the Bookfair, please get in touch. A volunteer orientation
meeting will be held at least one-week before the Bookfair May 20-22
weekend. Contact 514-859-9090 or anarchistbookfair at taktic.org.


-> Adopt-an-Anarchist!: The Bookfair always attracts a large number of
participants from outside Montreal. We are currently looking for people
living in Montreal who might be able to offer housing to out-of-town
bookfair participants for a few nights. If you can help, please contact us
at 514-859-9090 or anarchistbookfair.taktic.org.


-> Donations: The Bookfair needs cash flow! We are confident that we will
make all our expenses back at the actual bookfair, via donations and table
costs but, we need cash-in-hand before the bookfair. If you’re able to
make a cash loan to the Bookfair of at least $100, please get in touch.
We’ll be able to pay you back right after the Bookfair.
