RAIN Magazine hosts a Free Public Reading & Reception at 6:30pm May 5, 2006 at Clatsop Community College Art Center.

RAIN Dance to follow at 8pm. Tickets for dance are $3.00 students. $4.00 others. All Ages Welcome!

Get ready to shake, rattle and roll in celebration of the 2006 RAIN Magazine. Clatsop Community College’s student run literary magazine invites the public to a Free Reading and Reception launching the 2006 Spirit of Discovery edition. Immediately following the reception, we invite all ages to join us on the dance floor while raising a little money for next year’s publication. The reading will take place at 6:30 p.m. and the Rain Dance will follow at 8pm. Both events take place on the Jerome Campus Art Center, May 5, 2006.
Poets and authors featured in the magazine are invited to read their accepted submissions aloud, and original art from the magazine will be on display. Refreshments will be served following the reading, providing opportunities for artists, writers and readers to mingle. This portion of the evening is free, as it always has been.

New this year is the fundraiser Rain Dance. Immediately following the reception, the Clatsop Community College Art Center will be transformed into a dance hall, featuring a wide variety of dee-jayed danceable songs. There will be a charge of $4.00 for general admission and $3.00 for students, with 100% of the proceeds donated to RAIN Magazine’s 2007 edition.

Please join us for a fun evening of poetry, prose, art and tunes to groove to.
