[stylist] May Writers' Division Telephone gathering

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Hi you all!
RE: May  Telephone Gathering  
 
Looking back for a second, our April gathering, Chris Kuell was cool!
Everyone enjoyed the presentation and the opportunity to get to know Chris.
 
Our May gathering will happen on May 23rd, 1 week sooner than the normal
last Sunday of the month. The theme, by the count of many voices, ---will be
a time to present some of our personal writings for critique. Anyone can
present, all can give constructive criticism. You can read your own work or
have someone else read it for you. Also, it has been suggested that an
author who is planning to present, could send the work out prior to the
evenings event..A good idea, though not a requirement. And if you are going
to send it out prior to the meeting, you could send it to STYLIST with the
note that  it is a piece for the meeting. And I would also add, that in the
case of the material intended for the telephone meeting, seeing how you and
we will not know who will attend, that the material to be read must be
acceptable for a general audience. 
 
I personally will not be attending. Another division member will be the
moderator. I believe you all will have a great session Remember, to keep the
flow manageable, keep  comments brief and give all on line a chance to talk.

 
Next month, June, we will have another special guest. She also is a Division
member, Nancy Scott. Nancy is a former president of the Division, a person
who has been writing for years, has been published, has won writing contests
. She will be presenting a one hour (possibly longer) workshop on Goal
Setting. And you all know that to get to a goal,  you have to set one. And
for some of us, setting and reaching a goal is not an easy thing. Nancy has
a great program on the anatomy and making the achievement of reaching a
goal, am obtainable goal. (Woo, that got to be a little tangled, but what
Nancy's has is better than that. During the first part of June, a bio of
Nancy will be sent to STYLIST, you will see her credentials how it is that
she can speak to the topic of Goal Setting.) I am looking forward to June's
gathering.
 
And as for July, I promise we will have a guest speaker on the topic of
technical writing.
 
(No phone numbers and/or code in this message. Other messages will be coming
and they will have that information.)
 
 
Respectfully yours,
