Each year we call for voluntary donations to build the Awards Fund for the prizes to be gIven for the winning poems during the final session at the Awards Banquet. The Judge does not know who wrote each poem until after the selections are made.

As of the closing date of March 18, we received donations totaling $525.00.
This year's awards are made possible because the following people donated funds, for which we say thanks. Each year I keep hoping that everyone might contribute to this Awards Fund, even if a small amount. Your $35 registration fee goes for the cost of promoting this yearly conference, such as postage, printing workbooks, coffee break and other related expenses. Your workbook is no small item ... it requires many hours of preparaffon. I hope you will treasure it as a keepsake of a wonderful gathering.
