Petrey Fund 25th Anniversary
Nov. 8th, 2007 04:31 pmDebbie Cross, Paul Wrigley, and members of Oregon Science Fiction Conventions, Inc., have been raising money to send students to the Clarion and Clarion West Writers Workshops in memory of their friend Susan C. Petrey for 25 years now. Help them celebrate this successful memorial fund!
At Orycon 29, (November 16-18, Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront) attend panels and discussions of Clarion, Clarion West, the impact of writers workshops on people's lives, and how you can go to writers workshops. Go to the Petrey auction and let Jay Lake sell you stuff! Stop by the Petrey booth in the dealers room and buy raffle eggs! Use your Petrey coupon at Pizza Schmizza on Saturday afternoon! Come to the Petrey reception at 8 PM on Saturday evening and drink a toast to the fund, the writers, and the fundraisers.
If you can't go to Orycon but you appreciate the books and stories written by authors like former Petrey scholars Kathe Koja, Barth Anderson, Syne Mitchell, Nisi Shawl, and Heather Lindsley, please make a donation to support the Petrey fund. Donations can be made through PayPal to the email address of susanpetrey@comcast.net., or send checks to:
