Announcements April 20
Greetings!
This Wednesdays announcements are as follows:
We have started applying for grants. If you would like to volunteer for this process, please contact Donna.
Director Kirk Von Der Heydt would like to start a teen writers' workshop. We need volunteers to help determine what that would entail and what would be the best way of accomplishing it. If you are interested in helping out, speak with Kirk before the regular meeting or during the break. We appreciate your assistance.
We will vote on room names the first meeting of May. Please make sure someone has your room name suggestion, or it will not be listed on the ballot. Write it down and give it to a board member to be included.

The DFW Board
Two of DFWWW's fearless leaders have unfortunately had to resign from their positions.
Kyle White's work schedule has changed, and he is now unable to attend the Workshop. Kyle was serving as secretary for his second year and was a wonderful asset. He devoted his invaluable time and effort to the Workshop. His voice on the board will be sorely missed.
We hope that he will be able to join us in the future.
Ron Soule, serving as director, also received a new assignment at his job. He will attempt to attend the Workshop, but can no longer fulfill the time requirements of a Board position. He was ready to represent the Workshop to visitors and serve as a guide to our new members. We will miss his presence on the Board.
Anyone willing to contribute their time to the Workshop is deserving of praise. Both of these men helped see us through the tumultuous upheaval that landed us at our wonderful new location. They were present at the packup, and the move in, as well as the many board meetings that were necessary to safeguard the future of the DFW Writers’ Workshop.
We recognize them for their service and hope they continue writing and critiquing.

As you can see, I have a thing for alliteration.
If you would like to contribute a post to either of these series, send it to me. If you think these ideas are stupid, you can tell me that, too.

Announcements March 30th
We have lost a director. Kirk Von Der Heydt has volunteered for the position. According to the bylaws, Kirk must be approved by the membership. We will be voting on Kirk at the next business meeting which just so happens to be next week, April 6th.
Candace Havens' She Who Dares, Wins drops on April 1st. Be sure to check out her website for more info.
She has a book signing on April 16th at 2 pm at Barnes and Noble in Lewisville.
Do you know how to use Google? Would you like to help the Workshop? Good. We knew you would. The Workshop now has a grant committee looking for three or four volunteers to help research grants we can apply for. This is a research position, not a grant writing position.
Contact Kate Cornell or Donna Lasko if you are interested.
We have four rooms in our new building that need names. We are leaving it up to the members to generate possibilities. Harken, creative writers! Give us some ideas.
Send Kate Cornell or Donna Lasko your brilliance.
I'm still taking blog ideas. I've got some good'ins which will be discussed (fleetingly) during next week's announcements.
