Membership Drive

September 24, 2012 By Becky Kjelstrom

Our 30-day membership drive was a booming success. We set a goal of adding 50 new members by the end of Wordstock, and exceeded that goal by eleven. We also added to our Oregon Book Club. In addition to access to the Colonyhouse, discounts on workshops and conferences, and being a part of our community, these members will get four newly-published books by Oregon authors over the course of the year.
