From the President: for May 2008
At most of our meetings, which are free, we hold a raffle - a dollar for one ticket or three dollars for five tickets. Rarely are the odds of winning so high as when the typical two or four dozen people show up to hear someone talk about the process of writing or about publishing or marketing one's writing.
Not only do we award a book or two at these sessions, all the money goes to support the cash prizes in our annual Young Writers Short Story Contest. It is heartening how well we do by our repeated mini-raffles.
Our meeting on May 14 shines a spotlight on the winners of our seventh annual Young Writers contest. They receive their awards, and the winning stories are read aloud.
Much as I appreciate our six speakers and our two "Open Read" sessions each year, I consider the Young Writers awards session our distinguishing event.
