--- HAITI/DR Flood Relief Update ---
Thanks to a few dozen folks, who have responded to my plea to help those in the Dominican Republic & Haiti affected by recent flooding, over $1000 have been collected so far!! These funds have helped buy new beds, replace roofs, feed those whose crops and fishing waterways have been destroyed, and more! I thank you on behalf of our friends & Neighbors for your generosity!
As you can imagine, the need is still great. Should you wish to send more, or know of others who may be able to contribute, please do so through Kafe Kiskeya,

Michael Bushnell, publisher of THE NORTEAST NEWS will be the speaker at the premiere of the “1st Thursday” Northeast Literature and Art Series at Kafe Kiskeya, 3226 E. 12 th Street in Historic Northeast. Bushnell will speak at 7 P.M., Thursday evening December 6 on 'The History of the Northeast News' and on his acclaimed newspaper feature 'Postcards from Old Kansas City'.

Paintings by Erlene Flowers will also be on exhibit that evening. Erlene currently resides in Lee's Summit, but has traveled to Mexico where she studied and toured extensively. She has also traveled through Africa and Europe. She has been fascinated with spirituality and religions of the world. Often, her inspiration comes from exposure to the many religions of the world as she seeks truth in her paintings. She loves watercolor for directness and purity. She appreciates acrylic and the feel that this paint gives to the subjects that she paints.
