  As you may know, BardCon's charity endeavor for the coming year (Project Literacy) is in support of the StoryPlus Foundation. Illiteracy has become a rampant problem here and around the world. This Foundation (www.storyplusfoundation.org) encourages children to read and write by giving them the tools and opportunity to develop their skills. NOW, what you may not know and what I am going to tell you is that BardCon has joined forces with... THE ONE...

  THE ONLY...

  LUCIA
  to create the LUCIA OF THE MONTH CLUB.
  The LOTMC will offer a series of collectible, limited edition prints and posters to help support Project: Literacy. These will be brand new images never seen before. They will be sold in very limited quantities...once the edition limit is met, the image will NOT be available for purchase again. When it's gone...it's gone. And no amount of bribery will bring it back... although I, personally, would like to see what you can come up with. There will be one new image per month. The images will be a series of famous literary pairs of characters as represented by one of our own... uhhhh...favorite pair of literary characters. Although each of the images will be a separate stand alone image, they will form into related series as well. Perfect for decorating a kid's room or a not-so-kid-anymore's room. You will find these pictures irresistible and incredibly adorable... honest.
  Total prints available per monthly image (all 3 sizes combined) will be 250. No more.
  In addition to the limited edition prints, we also will have several other items with the image. These items will be available for purchase throughout the entire month.
  You will find the LUCIA Of The Month Club here: Project: Literacy / LOTMC or http://www.cafeshops.com/bc_projliteracy
