Tom Doyle, winner of the second WSFA Small Press Award, will be doing a reading at 10 PM April 2, 2010. This will follow the First Friday meeting at Sam and Judy’s. He is reading “Consensus Building”. This story is from 2005. There will be a Q&A after the reading.

It’s been a long time coming but what you’re looking at now is WSFA’s new website. The site is running on WordPress. The officers will be given access and will be able to put up announcements. Along the right side you’ll see links to websites maintained by WSFA including the WSFA Calendar. Along the top are links WSFA information: Officers, History, Journal, and Business.

The object in moving to this system is to have our website be more flexible and easily updated. At this time, several of the links leading to older pages will open in new windows since they have not yet been entered into the content management system that is being used as the backend. Please let the webmasters know if you find any links that do not work (webmasters at wsfa dot org).
