		<description><![CDATA[In modern day western culture, our death holiday (Halloween) and our harvest celebration (Thanksgiving) are celebrated separately. Not so for the ancient Greeks.

I'll be writing more about them, and encouraging you to get involved. I'm also going to be collecting donations at writer's meetings, and such, so you'll probably get sick of hearing from me. Consider this the first salvo. Please check out their website and consider making a donation.]]></description>
