Clarion West's 2009 General Meeting is scheduled at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Friday, February 28, at the start of the Clarion West Scholarship Auction at Potlatch, in the Domain Hotel, 1085 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, California. This meeting will be a brief update on the state of the workshop, featuring Executive Director Leslie Howle and board members Eileen Gunn and Kate Schaefer, and then we’ll get on to the fun and frenetic auction featuring Jay Lake, Tom Whitmore, cool stuff, and lots of scholarship money for deserving new writers.
The meeting is open to the public. We’ll hear a report on the previous year, plans for the coming year, and vote for board members. Only Clarion West members may vote, but you can join at the meeting. Please come if you're able to.
For more information about Potlatch, see the convention website. It's a terrific small convention focused on the conversation between readers and writers. Potlatch travels up and down the west coast; it has been held in Seattle, Portland Eugene, Oakland, San Francisco, and now in the South Bay. It doesn't have guests of honor, but it does feature books of honor. This year: Growing Up Weightless by John M. Ford and Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin. Buy your Potlatch membership today to get the pre-con rate.
