In Apolo's Name T-Shirts Still Available!
From April, who helped create the IAN t-shirts: There will no longer be a deadline for buying In Apolo's Name t-shirts, so fans can continue to purchase them at any time. In Apolo's Name is in the process of transistion, but the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Seattle still need our financial support. The sales of these shirts have made a great impact in the project, and we want to make the opportunity to have this "one of a kind" AAO item available to all fans!
Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays with their family and friends. Have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! :)

In Apolo's Name a Success!
Congratulations to the In Apolo's Name project for raising $10,000 to get a room named after Apolo in the new Ronald McDonald House in Seattle, Washington! Even though the project was successful, does that mean that RMH doesn't need our help anymore? Absolutely not! The In Apolo's Name project is still accepting donations. (Don't forget: T-shirts are still available!)

Signed Copies of Apolo's Autobio Available
I received an email today from Meg Sherman, of Chinook Bookshop, where Apolo did a signing on November 16. Here's the information she wanted to pass on:
We had a great signing with Apolo on Nov. 16th at Chinook Bookshop. He was busy for nearly 2 full hours. He is indeed a really nice guy! Most everyone wanted to have their picture taken with him. He was really patient and kind to everybody.
Anyway, I know you provided his fans with info about our signing and I thought they might want to know that we still have signed copies of his books. I was told by his publicist that we are his last signing until after the holidays.
Anyone wanting his books can contact us at www.chinookbook.com or call us at 1-800-999-1195.
