From jeff at watter.com Fri Sep 3 09:12:21 2010 From: jeff at watter.com (Jeff Watter) Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 11:12:21 -0500 Subject: [Associates] September's Working Writers meeting Message-ID: Good morning, Working Writers! Please plan to join us at the kickoff meeting for a new year of WW events. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 28th to attend: *Wine and Complain* A combination bitch session and wine tasting. 9-28 at 6:00 PM, Milwaukee Public Market, 400 N. Water St. Enjoy a multi-faceted evening with your freelance writing friends, including: - One of our traditional round-robin sessions with a topic: how tough the current economy is - A blind taste test featuring several brands of extremely inexpensive Vin Ordinaire, in keeping with the mood of austerity - A guest speaker: Jeff Carrigan, founder of the Big Shoes Network, who will finish the evening with his optimistic take on the future of communication in the Greater Milwaukee market As usual, an RSVP isn't necessary (but it would be nice so I know how many bottles of Ripple to buy and how many spaces we'll need to make around the steam vent.) I'm at jeff at watter.com or 262-789-6996. Hope to see you there. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The bad news is she's leaving us and we'll miss her wit and warmth. The worse news is she's taking her clients with her. Sherry may be accepting free drinks. I know I will.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe the writer made his own error -- 7th graf, next to the ExxonMobil ad: "In the last half-year," Shouldn't that be "past half year?" Otherwise, there would be no further "half-years."
