Valley Writers:
We are a day away from the deadline for both our writing contest as well as the deadline for writers within the ranks of SnoValley Writes! to submit something for Word Jazz. September 10 is the deadline. I have only 5 writers who have committed (yes we lost one this week due to scheduling issues, and it looks like I’ll be doing the Audience Participation part and not reading). So, Word Jazz needs 4 more writers. Please if you think you’re part of that five — confirm with me NOW (even if you had before), because I’m hearing rumblings that people say they are involved, but _I_ have not been made aware. Also, I only have five folks who have confirmed via Email and sent me at least a draft of their work.
I need at least 9 to move forward with this event. We wanted some folks who hadn’t participated in this before to participate. It can’t always be the same folks. If I don’t have confirmation by Sunday of 9 people, I’m going to reschedule the event — which is not optimal; but, I would rather do something with more energy in March than half-assed in September, and I’m sure our sponsors and hosts would prefer that as well. If we have to reschedule, the failure is clearly on my shoulders. However, together we can make this work.
**********
Our regular work session is Sunday, Sept. 11. at 3 p.m. Please confirm with me if you plan to attend. I already have one confirmation from a newly interested writer, Kelsea Schmidt. Please plan to attend and welcome her to our fold. RSVP’ing really lets me know how many I have and what direction to send our work session.

We still need a treasurer for our Board of Directors. Takers? Anyone? Buehler?

It’s clear SnoValley Writes is going through some growing pains. I’m hoping some renewed energy will help us fall back into a positive growth pattern.

Falling, like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” ~ Lord Byron
