The Hudson Valley Writers' Center Annual Autumn Celebration will be held from 7 to 11 pm on Friday, November 7th at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club, Route 9, Scarborough, New York. This year, we are proud to be honoring two of Westchester's finest writers for children: Jean Fritz and Jean Craighead George, both of whom are on the School Library Journal's 2000 list of "100 Books That Shaped the Century". Those who have attended this event in past years know to expect terrific food, drink, music and dancing in a fairy-tale setting. They also know the fun to be had by bidding on an exciting variety of auction items donated by local merchants and other supporters of the Writers' Center. A list of last year's silent auction donors and links to their websites can be seen here. Wherever possible, please be sure to support the many businesses that have extended their generosity to the Writers' Center! The basic ticket price will again be $195 ($390 per couple). For those who reserve and pay by August 31, the price per person is reduced to $175. Early birds will also receive a free ticket to Westchester Magazine's "Best of Westchester 2003 Party", to be held at the Westchester County Center in White Plains on Tuesday September 16th, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. These tickets sell for $45 in advance ($60 at the door) and have been made available to us through the magazine and the Westchester Arts Council. (Party proceeds benefit the Westchester Arts Council.) To reserve, call us at (914) 332-5953, or e-mail info@writerscenter.org. Payment can be made by cash, check or money order, and can be dropped off at the Writers' Center or mailed to us at 300 Riverside Drive, Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591. Our Benefit Committee is currently gathering items for this year's silent auction. If you would like to support the Writers' Center as well as promote your business by donating an item or service, please e-mail us, call us at (914) 332-5953, or use this donation form.

If you would like an invitation and do not receive one by October 1st, please e-mail us or call us at (914) 332-5953. This is the Writers' Center's most important fundraiser of the year, so your great time also promotes a great cause. It is a party for everyone - especially you! |
