Thank you to everyone who donated items for our goodie bags!!! We truly appreciate it.:)

As you know, on July 21st ETWG is having their annual workshop at the Chamber of Commerce Building in Tyler. Two great speakers will be our guests==Mark Towers and Taylor Stevens. You won’t want to miss this event. In order to help us out, even if you are not planning to attend, I am asking, with the approval of our Board of Directors, for contributions for our goody bags which will be distributed to those in attendance. Little items such as highlighter pens, sticky notes, index cards, erasers, pencils, and such that writers cannot do without. So far I have contributions of “round tuits,” highlighters, sticky note pads, “office supplies,” for the bags, and a few books to be given as door prizes. These don’t have to be expensive, or numerous. We anticipate about 30 people, so if you are able to bring one or two items to Braum’s at our Nutz and Boltz meeting on July 16 around 6:00, that would be great. Then you can stay for the meeting and help us coordinate the bags! Please send me an e-mail letting me know if and what you can contribute. I am keeping a list, so I know how much we have to disperse. Thank you for helping ETWG, and for being a proud member of our organization.
