New Week – Lots of Activity

The Writing Contest has begun, with lots of activity over the weekend.  The entries have begun to come in already, even before there are posters up.  The entries so far seem to be from Newnham campus, which is interesting.  Word went out on the announcement page on Friday, this may indicate that students at Newnham watch the announcements for ideas.  We’ll see what the response is by next week.  It’s very early days.

Monday meeting was set up at 11;30, but two of the members couldn’t make it.  Devon, Olivia, and Max all showed up, however.  We discussed a quick poster that we’re dispersing while we wait for the official one to come from SSF.  We got approval for the prizes today and will buy them ASAP.  We also discussed the reading series that is going to happen. There is a second meeting of the community connection people tomorrow at 12:30.  Also connected with three former students and very active members of the student community (in three separate encounters), and let them know of our events.

I am currently lining up the judges for the contest, making sure that there is one published author on each of the three categories.
