Marcy Simmons gave writer’s tips to the group on the topic of “Using entries in Writer’s Market”.
The Committee on Conferences/Contests met on September 18th, and decided that we will not be hosting a conference at this time due to other local groups holding conferences in the next few months. The committee has decided to wait until the club grows some more before attempting to hold our own event, but discussion continues for the club to host something mid-2011.
The Club is expecting some changes to the board in the near future. Becky Haigler will be stepping down as President after her move to St. Louis around the end of the year, and Christy Cowden will be assuming the role of President. Christy will be speaking with individuals, per the by-laws, to assume the role of Vice-President.
The annual Christmas Party will be held either the first or second weekend of December from 11 am to 1 pm (official announcement to be made next month!). Members are welcome to bring a guest, some finger food snacks, and a favorite holiday story to read.
Congratulations to Marcy Simmons for winning last month’s mini-contest! The topic for this month is: Write a fictional story of 500 words or less about the following picture:
Entries are due at the next meeting.
Making a Mark pens were distributed to the following members for their writing submissions/successes: Phillip Volentine, Bonnie McEwan, Marie Brass, and Marcy Simmons.
The meeting ended, as always, with Round-Robin readings from members.
