Fa-la-la-la-la! It's our annual Holiday Meeting!
We're decking our (okay, Demaray's) halls with general merriment, holiday schmoozing, and COOKIES. Mark those calendars for NEXT THURSDAY, December 18, at 6:30 p.m.The night begins with our much-anticipated Cookie Contest (see *RULES, below) and Book Exchange––so get those recipe engines revving, and come with books you'd like to pass along while picking up some new titles. Book Exchange rules are simple: Take as many books as you bring.
Want to simply donate books? Wait for our annual conference in April! Thank you!

COOKIE CONTEST RULES!
There are two categories: Most Beautiful and Most Delicious. (The judges will decide which category yours fall into.)
1. Bring at least a dozen of your cookies to share with your fellow
writers and illustrators.
2. ON A SEPARATE PLATE, place four of your cookies
separately for judging. (Label your cookies CLEARLY so the judges know who you are!)
If your cookies are of a special dietary variety, please also label
them as such, so your fellow dietary-restrictive writers and
illustrators can eat them without suffering horrible dietary-related
consequences.
Good luck and good baking. There will be FABULOUS PRIZES!!
