‘30 Poems in November’ is a literary fundraiser for the Center for New Americans. The Center welcomes and serves immigrants in Western Massachusetts with free English classes and a range of support services, to help them find their place our community. For more information, please visit: http://www.cnam.org This year, the collective goal is to raise $50,000! I grew up in a family that helped, and often hosted new immigrants and refugees from around the world. I have known forever that people who come from other countries to make a new life in the United States are among our greatest assets. I hope you will join me in donating to the Center for New Americans to support our new neighbors as they work to make their life in western Massachusetts.
