Greetings, All!

Well, I've updated the PWA-L mail list, and with the folks who signed up
Thursday at Jumpstart and at the PWA meeting, we now have 86! writers
subscribed to the list.  (Strange, isn't it, how so many people can be
so quiet?)

Speaking of the Jumpstarters, et al.:  Welcome!  You've already received
a couple of messages -- one from the robot telling you how to use the
list; and one from Deborah Chester, with updates and information about
PWA.  Now, it's your turn.  Following the instructions in the robot's
message, compose a message to PWA-L that briefly introduces you to all
of us.  Tell us where you came from, what you want to write, and how we
can help.

And speaking of Thursday's first meeting:  There were about 15 at that
first meeting, who consumed 3.8 large pizzas on the spot (Traywick ate
the rest later...), had some interesting discussions, enlisted some
volunteers, and set some goals.

- The volunteers:
    -- To resurrect and maintain the PW website:  Matt Buell; Krystal
Traywick; Josh Whitmore; Ashley Hairrell
Among the features on the website:  a newsletter and a page for posting
submissions for critique and constructive criticism -- something many
PWAers have asked for.
    -- To explore community outreach possibilities:  Kent Graham
    -- To replace Melanie Wilderman as Student Leadership Council rep:
Krystal Traywick (see why we gave her the pizza?)

You've already heard that our next meeting is a field trip to Border's
in Norman.  That's this coming Thursday at 7:30, and the Border's
manager has reserved us one of those tables back in the back.
Mmmm-mmm.  Coffee and formaldehyde, with a touch of chocolate.

Enough for now!  Questions?  Comments? Criticism?  Send'em to
[log in to unmask] ...

Scribite!
