Agenda 10/20

Don’t forget! We’re meeting at Gee Library, beginning at 2:30, for NCoW Theater. See all of you there! And I hope to see you all at our other Commerce Week on Writing events. Thanks for all your help!

Also: If you don’t see the flier you created posted to the CWoW blog (see “Week on Writing” at the blogroll and click “promotional” tab), please send again to both Tabetha and Shannon. I missed at least one sent and I know there were a couple others I saw in print-out form but did not receive a digital version so couldn’t post.
