SCBWI WWA Holiday Party
SCBWI WWA Holiday Party
Join us for a holiday party before our December 6th Professional Series Meeting! The festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Otto Miller lobby, which will be transformed into a winter wonderland. We’ll provide tastes and tunes. You handle the sweets! Bring a dozen (or two) of your favorite holiday cookies for all to enjoy, and be entered in a cookie contest with a chance to win a gift certificate at All for Kids. We’ll have great books for sale and their authors will be on hand to sign them (more info below), to help you get a jump on holiday gift-giving. Just like Santa, the night promises to be jolly and we hope you’ll be able to come early to share in the festivities!
Professional Series Meeting
At 7:00 p.m. we'll begin our December meeting, starting with a goal-oriented presentation by Deb Lund called PUT IT IN WRITING! Get a head start on your New Year’s writing resolutions with this picture-book author’s motivational tips and writing strategies. Our main program will feature WINTER WONDERS with Gayle Richardson, the wacky and fabulous retired librarian who will share all she knows about what kids really like, what they’re checking out, and what can’t be kept on the shelves. Feel free to invite a friend! Guests can drop in for just $8 ($5 for guests who are SCBWI members).
