A Note from the President

Well, Spring is here VWC members! Hopefully, many of you were able to take advantage of the Christopher Newport Writers Conference this year. As I write these words, many of you are probably visiting the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville. Others are preparing for next week’s Fredericksburg Festival of Poetry. We are all looking forward to the May 15 Board of Governors Meeting sponsored by Hanover Writers. This special meeting date was approved by e-vote of the BOG when some conflicts cropped up over the projected May 1 date.

We are all deeply involved in the production of the kind of literature that we love. It is not too early to start looking forward to the Hanover Festival of the Book this summer. And of course, our chapters continue to give their monthly or even more frequent critique sessions and other events designed to hone our skills.

Recently the BOG has received contacts from groups of writers in the Blacksburg and Lexington areas who are considering the establishment of new chapters in the western part of the state. Of course, we welcome these initiatives and hope they will soon be able to join us. Let’s resolve to do our best over the coming months to spread the word both statewide and in our local areas of the good works that the chapters and the state organization are doing for our writers and to encourage more of our colleagues to join with us. The Board of Governors will be waiting to render all the help we can. Let us know of your concerns and desires. Come to the Hanover May 15th meeting and join us.

Jim Gaines, President
