My chapter has been really successful with our "Conversation with Authors" fundraiser. We invite prominent writers, i.e. Eric Jerome Dickey, J. California Cooper, Soror BeBe Moore Campbell, Omar Tyree, to come and talk about their books. We partner with local African-American owned bookstores that come in and sell copies of the books, which the writers sign after the event. It's been really successful and it promotes literacy while raising funds. By the way, each soror is assessed a certain number of tickets to sell for the event.
