We celebrate CRW's birthday every year in October with a huge party. 19 years and counting!


I've catered the anniversary party and published author luncheon eight years now. I've got it down to a science...and three laden tables. A lot of w.o.r.k. but TONS of fun. No one walks away hungry!


Cindy Woolf (Treasurer & critique partner), Kathy Williams (PAL Liaison, published author & long-time friend), and Michele Chambers (President & critique partner) wind up a Board meeting...just in time for the luncheon! Hmmmm, I think they planned it that way!


Linda Fillingim (newsletter editor & published author) & Elaine Levine (Golden Heart Winner in 2007!) dress pretty for the party in smiles.


Published author Leslee Breene shows off "Leadville Lady" and her great cover! Oops! One of us blinked!


Let 'em eat cake! Friends Viola Estrella & published author [and sometimes roomie!] Shelley Wernlein enjoy the anniversary cake made especially for us for years! Raspberry-filled chocolate cake w/butter frosting...can anyone say yummmmmy?
