Tell us what you want.
No, really. The writers, the classes, the ideas. What does Your Writer's Garret
[mailto:camp@writersgarret.org] look like?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Auction action and online preview
Have you contributed an auction item to your favorite writer's nonprofit? We're
still looking for gift certificates, handcrafted items, event tickets, signed first
editions, and other gifts and experiences to sell in the Good As Our Word Fall Online
Auction so we can make some cold hard cash. Why? To bring you the classes, the writers,
and the experiences you're looking for here at WG. (Feel free to bid on the good
stuff, too.)
The auction will run from 11.21 thru 12.12, so if you have items or ideas or want
more info, email Grace [mailto:gen@writersgarret.org]. Then join us for the online
preview [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ctqzkybab&et=1103905932959&s=4558&e=0012pji-VnBS4JryfFyR56GCHsTfEJEd51BjfqcLHmM9WViwKDNogNIX1ijzuHCR6peozZsh2rXEhVH1Y5-cXq_ujfDgGWOh305i17x0geTyJ5Vr2jrkI3aA0dcSH8bwn8R7_QCU-fc7mVW77ZYqemuSwkYFFt_8vgU]
THIS SUNDAY 11.14 to check on your items (and get dibs on the best ones!). Send
