Welcome to FAW 2024-2025!!!
President’s Message – January 2025
Basking in the afterglow of a nice, mellow FAW Holiday Party. Enjoying the knowlege that I don’t have meetings to preside over until late January! Woo-Hoo!!
Thanks, again, Myles (our Host with the most) and all who ventured out to gather “in person” to mingle and chat, eat and drink(non-alcoholic, of course) and have fun with the gift exchange and Pub quizzes. (Thanks, Scott and Tish) Special thanks for those who arrived early and/or stayed late to setup/cleanup the venue (Myles’ community rec room). Also to all who contributed food, beverage, gifts and smiles. I have gotten many compliments from those who attended. See this January 2025(!!) Ink Spots issue for photos.
I trust everyone had a safe and sane Holiday Season Closeout Celebration, and that you are now eagerly ready to get flying on your current/future projects, right?
Lots of great talent is lined up for the coming months and we are looking forward to more enlightening educational opportunities to grow our collective talents and abilities
throughout this coming year.
Please give thought to how each of us can share our experiences and talents by offering to step up and join our board in the coming June election cycle. Yes, it’s already time to think ahead to that time of year. This is all about Writers Helping Writers, and
you know you have talent to contribute by mentoring, teaching, sharing, expanding your
own comfort zone and stretching your wings. It is such a wonderful feeling when you can
help others to succeed.
Try it, you’ll like it!
May we all prosper and flourish in this coming year,
Terry Tosh
