SWC members enjoyed an informative presentation by area author WINNIE GRIGGS on making effective transitions in writing. We also welcomed new member PHILLIP VOLENTINE.
After Winnie's presentation, our business meeting included election of officers for the next two-year term. BECKY HAIGLER will serve another term as President, CHRISTY COWDEN will serve as Vice President, PAMELA RAINTREE as Secretary, and DAVE HICKS will be our new Treasurer. Becky expressed thanks to out-going officers VP SHIRLEY BROWN, Secretary BARBARA MOORE, and Treasurer JUNE DOWIS. June has actually served the club for three two-year terms.
The club approved a proposed amendment to the bylaws to make our meeting time a half-hour later, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. New information pages for visitors and new bookmarks with meeting info will be available next meeting.
Membership dues should be paid in June. This $20 fee is virtually our only source of income. Members who do not renew in June will receive a reminder in July. If dues are not received by the August meeting date, the member will not be included in the new roster to be made available in September. Thanks for taking care of this obligation quickly.
Since 1935, Shreveport Writers Club has been a support group for writers. SWC includes writers from all stages of life. Many of us are published authors of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. Others simply enjoy sharing their thoughts in written form with other people who love words.
