DECEMBER 5 HOLIDAY PARTY WILL BE AT LIN’S BUFFET—NEW LOCATION
11:30am Lin’s Buffet, 10100 Coors Road (about 1.3 miles north of Hometown Buffet on the opposite side of Coors). Due to the sudden closing of Hometown the end of October we have moved our holiday party to Lin’s. Yes, it is a Chinese buffet but there are many American dishes as well and it may be the largest buffet in Albuquerque. When you pay tell them that you are in the private party! Lunch is $9.48 (includes tax and drink; please add about $1.50 for a tip!!!!). No speaker -- just a good time! You must RSVP (344-9382) that you are coming so we get the right size room!

MOTHERS DAY BOOK FAIR FILLING UP FAST — DON’T WAIT TO LONG TO SIGN UP!
The New Mexico Book Co-op and the New Mexico Book Association have teamed together to sponsor the Mother’s Day Book Fair at The Village in Eldorado, on the east side of Santa Fe on Saturday, May 10 from 10am to 3pm. The Mother’s Day Book Fair will feature authors and publishers from all across New Mexico. The book fair will be held indoors in The Village at Eldorado (there are two buildings of shops) on Caliente Road and Avenida Vista Grande across from the supermarket just off U.S. 285. Participants can provide their own tables and chairs or they can be provided by the fair sponsors. In addition to the Book Fair, there will be a Growers Market and music and entertainment outdoors. The Vista Grande Public Library will be involved in the promotion for the event. The fee to participate in this book fair is $10 if you provide you own table (6-foot max.) and chairs; it is $20 if you want the sponsors to provide the table (6-foot) and two chairs. There are also a few tables that are smaller and they are available at $15 for a 40-inch round table (with 1 chair) or $10 for a 1-foot x 2-foot table (with 1 chair); these smaller tables are perfect to display one or two books. If you provide your own 6-foot table or get one from the fair sponsors you may share with one other author/publisher. Space will be assigned for tables in advance based on when you submit your reservation. All monies generated from the fees will be used to promote the book fair. Application forms are available at http://nmbookcoop.com/page18/page90/page90.html.

ONLY ABOUT A DOZENS SLOTS LEFT FOR LAVENDER IN THE VILLAGE BOOK EVENT
Last year, Lavender in the Village brought thousands of people to the Village of Los Ranchos. It was a two day event and because it was such a great opportunity last year for book and authors, the New Mexico Book Co-op is opening the event up to authors from the village. This year’s Lavender festival is set for July 11- 13. LPD Press and the New Mexico Book Co-op, both located in Los Ranchos, are organizing a couple of booths that will cater to local authors who want to sell their books. There are also spaces for signings. Join in the fun and be a part of the largest activity in the Village. We want books that appeal to kids, adults, cookbooks, histories, novels, and of course lavender books! But keep the books family friendly. If you have any questions call 344-9382. The opportunity is first-come, first-served. Authors who live in the Village of Los Ranchos will have a chance to sign up first. Local authors will be the first to sign up but they must sign up before April 1, 2008. To sign up http://nmbookcoop.com/page18/page89/page89.html
