Inside Books 10 Year Anniversary Fund raising Drive

*Dear Friends of the Inside Books Project,*

It may be the dog days of summer, but here at Inside Books we've got
reason to celebrate! This August marks our Tenth Anniversary sending free
books and educational materials to prisoners all over Texas.
Back in 1998,
Inside Books started as a handful of volunteers working out of a now
demolished warehouse to get Texas inmates, the majority of whom are
non-violent offenders, reading materials that they desperately needed and
prison libraries sorely lacked.

Treasure City is now accepting entries for our 2nd Annual Recycled Fashion
Show.The Show will take place in the first half of October.

This year we are striving for an entirely recycled show. The concept is
creative reuse of materials.

We are hoping that each designer can enter a collection of at least 3 outfits
that are refashioned out of old clothes. Designers are highly encouraged to look
for material (i.e. old clothes and accessories) at Treasure City Thrift Store.
