This sounds like fun, actually. I wonder if they offer Continuing Education Units?
Shouldn’t schools make sure all English teachers get to make this pilgrimage at least once every four years? Principals, are you listening?

The Academy of American Poets invites you to join us in New York City for the annual Poets Forum, a series of events exploring the landscape of contemporary poetry in America.
This year’s Poets Forum includes new talks and discussions with an array of distinguished poets, readings, publication parties, and an expanded selection of literary walking tours, led by poets, through Manhattan and Brooklyn.
“In only three years, the Poets Forum has become the poetry event of the fall, as poets (and fans of poetry) of all aesthetics celebrate and learn about what they all have in a common: a desire to give life itself a shape through language.”

Jährlich sterben in Deutschland knapp 1000 Menschen (etwa 3 pro Tag) aus Mangel an Spenderorganen.
Dabei sind 2/3 aller Deutschen für Organspenden und sind auch selbst bereit Organe zu spenden. Aufgrund organisatorischer Probleme wird diesem Wunsch jedoch oftmals nicht entsprochen.
Desweiteren gibt es strukturelle Probleme im Gesundheitssystem welche angegangen werden müssen.
Um diese Probleme an den deutschen Bundestag heranzutragen wurde eine Petition gestartet.

Bitte hilf mit deiner Unterschrift bei der Petition für mehr Organspenden![/COLOR][/SIZE]
