Hi folks,
The Brazos Valley SCBWI gathered for lunch on Monday, Dec. 13, 2010 at the Village Cafe in Bryan, TX for a year-end time to connect. We enjoyed great food, great company, and supported a great cause -- Brazos Valley Reach Out and Read, our local chapter of the nationwide literacy organization dedicated to preparing America's youngest children to succeed in school. We were able to bring together more than 60 books to support our community. Thanks to ARA Jacqueline Gramann for delivering the books! Thanks to RA Liz Mertz for a year of great programming.
The event was a great time to connect with local writers and illustrators. Our business can be lonely; take time to get out and connect. Consider joining us for monthly events.
