Don't close the book on Broad Vocabulary just yet
Jennifer Morales and Tina Owen announced last week they would close their feminist bookshop, Broad Vocabulary, 2241 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., but a group of people want to keep the shop open as a co-op.
The Phoenix Rising Fundraiser takes place Sunday, Nov. 30, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., to raise money to purchase Broad Vocabulary's inventory and assets, and to re-open the store as a cooperative.
The event includes children's story time and crafts, belly dancing demo and lessons, a Sex Toys 101 workshop, an "adult" story time / open mic and other events. The store's resident knitting circle, FemiKnits, will hold a knit-a-thon.
The fun continues with an after-party in the back room of Sugar Maple, 441 E. Lincoln Ave., until 10 p.m.
There's no cover charge to attend the fundraiser, but donations and investments are needed. Co-op memberships will be available for purchase.

Sweet. People helping people help themselves.

If it sounds like Tool Shed II, that's because I (the owner of the Tool Shed) am donating my time and products to help raise money for Broad Vocabulary. Small business owners support each other!

Sounds like it's on its way to being Tool Shed II. Sweet action.

Good news! Can we safely assume the fundraiser is at the store? Or is it somewhere else?
