Help Save Broad Vocabulary

Phoenix Rising Extravaganza Fundraiser to be held Sunday, November 30.

The owners of Broad Vocabulary announced earlier this month that the feminist bookstore would be closing its doors for good by December -- that is, unless someone stepped in to take the struggling shop off their hands. Enter A Broader Vocabulary, a newly formed cooperative that is working to purchase the store, with what they hope will be an outpouring of support from the community. Join them at their Phoenix Rising Extravaganza Fundraiser on Sunday, November 30, if you'd like to see this Bay View original live to see 2009. The fundraiser will begin at 11 a.m. at Broad Vocabulary, 2241 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., then reconvene at Sugar Maple, 441 E. Lincoln Ave., at 5 p.m. The day will include a sale of arts and crafts, a knit-a-thon, children's activities, belly dancing, an adult toy workshop and more.
