     The Crescent Moon Coffee Klatch
will be hosting a fund-raising lecture series for the New Alexandrian Library
Project. A lecture a month for six months will be given at the Paint Branch
Unitarian Universalist Church, 3215 Powder Mill Road, Adelphi, MD in the
Kelley Room.  Our guest speakers are members of the Assembly of the
Sacred Wheel, a legally recognized 501c3 Wiccan non-profit religious organization,
based in the Mid-Atlantic region.

     Admission is $12.00
with a canned food donation for our S.O.M.E collection (So Others May Eat)
or $15.00. Each lecture will begin promptly at 2 p.m. and end at
5 p.m. All funds received during these lectures will be donated 100%
to the New Alexandrian Library Project.  *No one is turned away
for lack of funds, all donations are gladly accepted.

 

 

 


     The New Alexandrian Library will
be a modern, state of the art library with the capacity to preserve and
to protect all forms of esoteric knowledge. Books, periodicals, special
collections, music, media, digital data, etc. will all be carefully cataloged
and cross-referenced to ease the work of research. The Library will work
to restore and to preserve rare and damaged documents. The history of our
magickal communities will also be collected for the future. In addition
to its physical presence, the New Alexandrian Library will have an internet
component to maximize its utility. Over time, as much material as is possible,
within the limits of logistics and legalities, will be available online.

      The land for this project
is being donated as well as the architectural plans. The New Alexandrian
Library will be located in the sacred woods of Seelie Court in Southern
Delaware. The New Alexandrian Library will be under the aegis of the Assembly
of the Sacred Wheel and as such donations are tax deductible. Consider
donating to the New Alexandrian Library Project and help the past stay
in our present and in the future to come.

    This fund-raising event benefits
so many in our community! First, all  procedes go directly to the
New Alexandrian Library Project - an Esoteric library being created to
open its doors in 2010. This library benefits anyone and everyone with
a thirst for knowledge and wisdom. You can help make this dream real for
so many with just your attendance to this and other events in its honor.

    Second, the food donations goes
to a local adult shelter and food kitchen to help some very needy people.
Especially now that the holidays have come and gone, the shelters really
need our help now when no one else is giving. One or two cans of food is
all it takes.

    And lastly, we give back to you
for your generosity by offering these very unique and educational lecture
in a enveloping setting. These  lessons learned can do nothing but
help you through your days to come. So do something for yourself and your
community!  Not to mention meeting all those lovely like-minded people.
