Your RSVP
is very important. Besides letting us know in advance how many
people we can expect to come, it also allows us to know who to
notify in case of any last minute changes in venue. Please make
sure to advise us of your attendance as soon as you can, so that
we can make the appropriate arrangements.

We would like to congratulate
Beverly Akerman for the following recognition of her work:
-Beverly's monologue "'Chelle"
has been chosen for presentation at Sarasvàti Productions'
FemFest 2010: On the Edge, to be held September 25th to October
2nd at Winnipeg's Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film. Beverly
anticipates visiting Winnipeg to see "'Chelle" produced.
-Beverly's short story "Sea of Tranquility" is a finalist
for the Hoffer Award. It is to be published in the next edition
of Best New Writing, produced each year by Hopewell Publications.
The Canadian
Writers Society wishes to convey its congratulations and best
wishes to Ruth Reiner on the recent marriage of her daughter Joanna
to Douglas Horn. May they find true happiness and contentment
in their future life together.
We all want to wish Michael Hanna
Fein a very speedy recovery and future good health.
The Canadian Writers
Society would like to extend its sincere sympathy, and that of
all its members, to our long-time supporter and dear friend Eric
Lemieux on the sad loss of his father. Our thoughts and prayers
are with him during this time of terrible sorrow.
One
of our members has won a prize!

The
CWS is a group of writers, both aspiring and published, who believe
in sharing their works and ideas with other like-minded individuals.
Society activities include "Reading and Feedback" and
"Imagination" evenings, work-shops on topics of interest
to the membership, suppers, meeting selected authors and lectures
by speakers on subjects that are of benefit to writers. So take
a minute and see what we're all about. Come and join us at one
of out meetings and find out what you've been missing.
So, go
to it, fellow members and welcome visitors... have yourself a
ball!
Occasionally, when
we send out e-mails to our members, announcing when and where we
are holding the next CWS get-together, we request an RSVP. Now we
know it might be difficult for some of you to respond, but we really
appreciate those who do, as it makes the planning of the event so
much easier, as well as allowing us to contact those who have reserved
in the event of a last minute change of venue. When we get no answer
back, we find it impossible to do anything, not knowing if anyone
will even be there. Since we are required to make a payment for
the use of the rooms, if no one shows up, it comes directly out
of our pockets. We would rather cancel the meeting and reschedule
than hold a meeting for no one. A party where no one attends isn't
much of a party. Please, make the effort to advise us of your intentions.
