From the President:
With the 2011-2012 year of MWG coming to a close, I’d like to thank those who have supported us—both returning and new members, as well as the different organizations we’ve been fortunate enough to work with these past months. Also, I’m sending hugs and gratitude to Stephanie Lawton, April Higgenbotham, and Dawn Steadham for plugging along with me.
All the best for next season of writing!
Carrie Cox
2011-2012 MWG president
