How nice to get the word out on this lovely blog! I’ve already heard from several SCBWI members who plan to attend. Be sure to come early to see the exhibit prior to talks, in 4th floor Community Gallery. Hope to see a lot of you there!
Ditto from me! Thanks for posting this, Rose. Between 7 of us I think we’ll present something worth seeing.
I’m looking forward to both Sundays!
