Archive for November 20th, 2006
I recently joined the board of directors of Writers and Books. It is a very kewl organization! I was quite surprised to learn that W&B is one of the largest literary organizations in the country — right behind NYC and Washington, D.C.
The November 30th event (scroll down) is a major fundraiser for the (non-profit) organization to help support its programs and scholarships. Come join us if you can! There will be some great stuff at the silent auction — a good way to get a head start on holiday shopping and to support a good cause. Details/admission price below…
Or check out the catalog www.wab.org/ and take a course — it’s a great way to tap the OTHER side of your brain!

P.S. One item up for bid at the silent auction is a registration for the Rochester STC Chapter Spectrum conference this spring!
