Message from bookstore owner Scott: For 31 years now Tsunami Books has been paying rent at 2585 and 2595 Willamette Street in Beautiful South Eugene. Current (national) events have impelled us to the Quixotic Community Action of trying to buy the Bookstore Property, to keep it in Books, Music, Local Arts and Crafts, and Community in Perpetuity. As none of of us Bookstore Clerks own homes, or have (a lot of) money, we have begun a grass-roots fundraiser.
As of June 26 we have raised approximately $80,000; a healthy drop in the bucket. The Garden on Friendly has kindly offered us use of their space for a Fun(d)raiser).
Well-loved local musicians Laura Kemp, Brian Cutean, Amy Danziger and Michael Roderick will offer background music to enjoy the Garden’s food and drink, and conviviality. Tsunami will have a table with “The Tip Box.” We’ll be selling Gift Certificates and tickets to our concerts, a small selection of books. Plus, we’ll have a (free) raffle for more (free) Gift Certificates.
