Very nice.<br /> Virginia won our chapter's Award: the Desert Rose. The chapter members vote on who receives it.<br /> I've been to one RT conference and plan to go to Vegas this next year. Any chance you'll be there?Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-70665679059806840702015-10-01T16:03:46.323-07:002015-10-01T16:03:46.323-07:00What a wonderful post, Pam.

In that time, I've mostly been a member of online chapters though I did belong to the NYC and Long Island chapters for a time. Like you, I've seen a lot of changes, but I'll always be grateful to RWA for helping me along my way.<br /><br />Funny thing - I learned about RWA from attending one of the very first RT conferences in the mid 1980s.<br /><br />Congrats on your service award.Cate Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424872139114718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-25842888944671055432015-10-01T13:04:39.880-07:002015-10-01T13:04:39.880-07:00Jean, how cool that you co-founded.

I'd love to attend the conference someday.

I co-founded the chapter in 2005. Before that I went to the Saratoga Romance Writers meetings. The first conference I went to was the NJ Romance Writers Put Your Heart in a Book Conference. It's also the one I've attended most. I'll be there later this month. Anyone else going?Jean C.

You can come twice for free.<br /><br />Yes, per Jolene's post about small town, I live in the BIG city. I can drive easily to two different meetings, and if I really want, there are four RWA chapters within two hours.Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-18994785332082831232015-10-01T11:57:18.057-07:002015-10-01T11:57:18.057-07:00Sandra, tell me you'll in be in CA next year. ...Sandra, tell me you'll in be in CA next year.

At that time, she was putting out eight books a year. She talked money and everything. I felt like I'd been invited to a secret meeting or something. <br /> She was a gracious and funny (humor) lady.Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-58668446770569433312015-10-01T11:04:20.627-07:002015-10-01T11:04:20.627-07:00Loved your post Pamela!

I love seeing their writing journey. I'm also very active in an on-line chapter that I love. We got together at NY this summer and it was amazing!<br /><br />And I don't think I could EVER get my hubby to attend any writing events.
