President's Corner

 

May 2007

 

NTRWA President, Jen FitzGerald

 

 

Dear Chapter Mates,

 

We have a couple of deadlines sneaking up on us. First is the May 31st deadline for the Silver Nuggets contest. You still have time to get something written and entered. It's only $10 for a chance to get published. See page eleven of the April or May newsletter for guidelines. Second, the May meeting is the last opportunity to buy raffle tickets for the National Conference Fee raffle we conduct every year. The winner will be chosen at the end of the May meeting. Third, get your first ten pages of the story of your choice ready for the Roundtable Critiquemore details coming soon.

 

I’m really looking forward to the conference. I hope you are, too. Last year, Britta Coleman wrote a great article about going to National, which I’ve added to our files section under the Miscellaneous folder. She’s got some really good tips, so go read it again if you get a chance. Also check out the helpful article on networking on page three of May’s newsletter. My plan is to just enjoy the ride, soak up the ambiance, and meet some new people. And don’t forget, Laura Martello has been nominated for the Golden Heart. Let’s all turn out to support her. Go Laura!

 

A very big Bravo Zulu to all of you who have been participating in the Book in a Year program. At least twenty members earned their bracelet at the April meeting and several more people signed up. This looks to be a prolific year for NT. If you haven’t joined yet, it’s not too late. Just contact BIAY coordinator Gina Nelson to get started.

 

      Well, it’s that busy time of year for us all so I’ll leave it here. I hope to see you all in May.

 

 Sincerely,

 Jen FitzGerald
