* Six Word Novel Contest: we asked in the last issue for submissions and offered a prize box of avocados . . . we didn't realize how many novelists there are out there! HOWEVER. Many, many of you wrote slogans, mission summaries or poems, rather than novels. As a result, we'll follow this contest in the fall with a Six Word Mission Statement contest, and many of your entries will be moved into that contest. Deadline for the Six Word Novel Contest:: July 30. Send to editor@blueavocado.org or click here to submit.

* We finally got the Blue Avocado flash drives, which are being sent this week to Blue Avocado member/donors at the $45 level or higher. Like public TV, we rely on our readers to help keep our content high quality and free to everyone. Consider joining as a member! Click here for more.

* Do you have an idea for a Reader OpEd or a First Person Nonprofit story you'd like to submit? Send us a 2-paragraph proposal along with a word about yourself . . . we may not be able to respond to all the submissions, but we'll try. Click here or write to editor@blueavocado.org and get started on sharing your thoughts with our 50,000 subscribers!
