I got a really nice book bag to donate this month.<BR/><BR/>Taylor's my guy. According to Zaba Search, he's going to stick around for the finals. He got me listening to The Commitments soundtrack today. I did not like Katharine's Over the Rainbow, but it was better than her others. Poor girl needs to loosen up. <BR/><BR/>Sarah, I witnessed the PAL program when I came to the Emily meeting, and I suggested that to the president. Thing is, no one wants to commit. Sad, huh?<BR/><BR/>Rene, we used to do BIAW, but no one would get into it, and no one wanted to moderate. We have guest speakers, the last one drove down from Austin to talk to 15 women. Attendance is terrible! I'll let you know what happens.MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1147884851345902182006-05-17T11:54:00.000-05:002006-05-17T11:54:00.000-05:00OCC does all sorts of stuff, but it is a big chapt...OCC does all sorts of stuff, but it is a big chapter so intimate things are difficult. We do BIAW's, online classes, an occasional "field trip" and of course the chapter meetings. Our chapter meetings are big and usually feature great speakers. But when you have a chapter of over 400 members, you can get those kinds of things.<BR/><BR/>I'm part of a group starting a new local chapter and we are looking at trying to find activities which would appeal to a smaller group. If we come up with any, I'll share.Renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966956368329586135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1147878897027980112006-05-17T10:14:00.000-05:002006-05-17T10:14:00.000-05:00I don't know if SARA already has something like th...I don't know if SARA already has something like this or not, but WHRWA has a PAL program (published authors...something). lol<BR/><BR/>A non-published member becomes a PAL for a published member and reviews their books at the meetings when they are released. The review is included in our chapter newsletter, and the "glowing" reviews are posted to Barnes&Noble and/or Amazon, too.<BR/><BR/>I think it's fun - it's a good way to hear about books coming out, and as a PAL, I get to read free books! <BR/><BR/>Maybe you already have this though...KATZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724728384829762730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1147862772985856512006-05-17T05:46:00.000-05:002006-05-17T05:46:00.000-05:00We sometimes do gift basket raffles, which is real...We sometimes do gift basket raffles, which is really fun. But I'm often not able to make the meetings, due to my toddlers.<BR/><BR/>On Idol, I thought that Taylor did great. Elliott had moments. Katherine messed up a few times--seemed like her nerves got to her. She was okay, but not fabulous. We'll see what happens!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
