Date Name Address City Dear Name: If you’ve ever read a book that changed your life … If you’ve ever witnessed a young person finding the words to express her experience… If you’ve ever come together with others and felt moved by the power of the written word… then you understand the importance of Just Buffalo Literary Center. For 37 years, Just Buffalo Literary Center has brought the world’s greatest writers to Buffalo, hosted poetry events and readings, and supported the development of young writers. From the very first event back in 1975 with Beat poet Diane di Prima to more recent Babel events with internationally acclaimed novelists like Salman Rushdie or Zadie Smith, Just Buffalo has forged a connection between the most exciting writing happening in the world today and the local community. Each year, we have been astounded to see the thousands of people who flock to these events. Our hope is to bring even more people into this global literary conversation in the coming year. That is why I am writing today to ask for your support during our year-end campaign. Perhaps nothing speaks more powerfully for our programs than the words of people just like you: "Inside of me there’s hope everywhere. There’s hope even in you." (From a poem by Caroline Finkbeiner, Grade 3)
