NPW Meets Spring, Fall in Varied Locations

NPW offers two state conventions annually (spring and fall) at various locations around the state. Each convention features workshops, speakers and panel discussions designed to enhance members' knowledge and skills. Conventions also give members a chance to talk over problems and share ideas. Spring convention 2010 will be in Lincoln, and fall convention 2010 will be in Red Cloud.

Come to Cather Country: Fall Convo Slated October 9 in Red Cloud

Red Cloud - After a Friday evening, October 8, board dinner and meeting at the Palace Lounge (come join us), the NPW convention will kick off Saturday, Oct. 9, with registration at Red Cloud's beautifully restored 1885 Opera House (left), which figured prominently in the life of author Willa Cather.

Convention coordinator Lynne Ahlers has lined up a full day of activities including a presentation by a Willa Cather Foundation representative who will tell what the foundation has done and continues to do in order to preserve and promote understanding and appreciation of the life, time, setting, and work of the Pulitzer Prize winning author.

Historical tours, great food and camaraderie are also on tap as well as announcement of the 2010 NPW Communicator of Achievement. Write the date on your calendar and plan to attend.
