	From the Comic Geek Speak boards- http://www.thecomicforums.com/forum2//index.php?showtopic=136747 WONDER WOMAN DAY October 25-26 in New Jersey October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Several pop culture and comic book fans across the country have begun to celebrate Wonder Woman Day in October to raise money for local family services charities. The event has grown from one location raising $15,400 in 2006 to two locations raising around $30,000 in 2007. At Comic Fusion in Flemington, New Jersey, we are proud to have raised about $3,000 of that total for S.A.F.E. in Hunterdon, our local women's shelter which automatically takes 25% of all cash donations to allocate to their children's art therapy program. WWD was founded by author Andy Mangels who runs the event in Portland, OR. The New Jersey event is run by Stacy Korn and Beth Delaney of Comic Fusion. We're soliciting for artwork and signed items. Since our deadline is October 1st, the CGS Supershow will be the perfect time & place for you to deliver any items to Beth who is proud to be a first time vendor with her own messenger bag line called Hero Fashions & Accessories. At the request of S.A.F.E. in Hunterdon, we kindly ask that any donated pieces do not contain violent or sexually explicit images. They can't contain weapons, fighting or skimpy versions of costumes. Consideration to having Wonder Woman shown in her beautiful Amazonia armor with shield, sword or lasso will be acceptable if she's merely holding them and not fighting but it's preferred by the board if weapons are left out all together. I's very important to the board that they see our beloved Diana shown in a dignified posture. Think Empowerment, Bravery, Courage and Generosity. We had some very creative submissions last year. Any female character from comics is welcome but Wonder Woman and her universe is really what we're going for; however, a delightful Kitty Pryde wouldn't be rejected. We've had wonderful artists contribute to the cause by sending in sketches, lithographs, and posters and writers who have sent in signed copies of their books for our auctions. The following is just a partial list of those who have previously donated: Aaron Sowd Acir Galvao Adam DeKraker Al Bigley Al Rio Alex Saviuk Alexandre Tso Alfredo Lopez Jr Allison Sohn Amy Pronovost Andres Ponce Andy Smith Anne Timmons Anthony Tan Ariel Padilla Aries Mendoza Art Baltazar Bill Maus Bill Tucci Bong Dazo Bonkz Seriosa Brian Williamson Brock Heasley Cat Staggs Chris Dibari Christopher Muller Colleen Coover Craig Rousseau Dan Burgonos Dan Parent Daniel Crosier Daniel HDR Dave Gutierrez Dave Hoover David Chelsea Dean Haspiel Diane Carroll Don Perlin Doug Baron Eduardo Pansica Elvis Moura Eric Wolfe Hanson Evan Bryce Franchesco!

The Wonder Woman Museum - www.wonderwomanmuseum.com S.A.F.E. in Hunterdon - www.safeinhunterdon.org I did a WW sketch card at the CGS Super Show for the auction, and Antone donated some art prints.

	I've never heard of this before, but what a great idea. It would be great if we could, as a group, sponsor or participate in an event to support local shelters next year. Thanks for sharing, Lin. edit: can't speel -----signature----- "I hate it when people I hate make sense." - Jarael, KotOR "In...women courage is often mistaken for insanity. " - Iron Jawed Angels

	That would be a really great thing to do. Maybe we could get one of the local comics shops involved. Here are a couple of shelters in Memphis that we could benefit: YMCA of Greater Memphis: Abused Women's Services Memphis Family Shelter There's also the House of Grace shelter, which doesn't seem to have a website that I can locate. But here's an article about it from The Commercial Appeal. -----signature----- Inked Monkey Productions: http://www.inkedmonkey.com Official Sergeant-At-Arms and Token Deliah Blue Fanboy of the Cade Brigade Once you go Blue, you never go back!
