Thanks, all who attended our 2010 conference! it was a wonderful day, full of information, catching up with old friends and meeting new. Quinton’s special note: “Thanks from the Eugene-Springfield Unit to all the local poets who made the Spring Conference a success by reading poems, donating time, workshop sessions, books, food, drink, strong backs and assistance at every turn. Extra applause for Michael Hanner, Jim Higgins, Joy McDowell, Sharon Munson, Charles Thielman, and Ingrid Wendt who punctuated the Conference with their fine poems during the weekend. Thanks also to the breakout session leaders, Laura LeHew, Sandy Jensen, and Toni Van Deusen who took on two sessions and collected materials for the Conference packs. And Joy McDowell’s amazing amassing of books and other items for the Raffle Basket, Laura LeHew’s gourmet food brigade.
