Looking for Volunteers to Organize a Writers' Retreat*

Hi, writers,
Some of you might have seen this in the newsletter but I'd like to repeat it here to make sure the news gets to everyone:

Frank Pray would like to organize a writers' retreat to take place in September, but he needs some help.

Specifically, he would like four volunteers who would each tackle one of these areas:
a) member interest / financial commitment / financial records;
b) location / facilities, including contract / reservations
c) "program" for the retreat, including any topics/experts;
d) updates and member communications, and pictures / video of the event (releases).

Anyone who is interested should express that interest here or directly to Frank before April 7.

This could be a fun way to recharge your writing batteries, or to make some serious progress on a work-in-progress. I hope you'll consider it.

*4/8 Update: Sorry, but this won't be going forward. Frank didn't receive enough volunteers. He says he may try again next year, or try for something a bit less ambitious. If anyone else would like to take on the effort or has other ideas for how to get it off the ground, all ideas are welcome.
