SUMMARY:7th Annual MoSt Benefit - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:It is with deep regret that we’ve cancelled this year’s annual benefit for the Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center which was scheduled for April 5. It is more important that all our supporters and friends stay well and safe\, so we are forgoing the benefit this year. We won’t be rescheduling\, but we do hope to be back with shining colors and bells on in 2021.
