We've received so much encouragement, found new friends, learned boatloads of writing skills, heard great speakers and benefited from group knowledge. The Christmas Party is fun too.<br />I think we'll stick around. ;-)Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008928169210022661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968487116675968684.post-85288509522198559612011-02-28T15:06:18.344-06:002011-02-28T15:06:18.344-06:00As a romance writer (cough...cough...I know...)

Since I've become a member, I have nothing but good to say about the entire experience.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254439593465401470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968487116675968684.post-19747011784480414122011-02-26T10:17:04.746-06:002011-02-26T10:17:04.746-06:00That's a good observation, Stan.That's a good observation, Stan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028635002644119824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968487116675968684.post-52663488406165330262011-02-25T17:41:48.988-06:002011-02-25T17:41:48.988-06:00Since I have been here for less than 2 years I hav...Since I have been here for less than 2 years I have only experienced the good. BWG is fun place where we are given an opportunity to contribute and to grow as a writer. <br /><br />I remember in some of my classes at the university that I had student reviews from same class that would say that I the worst teacher and others that would say that I was the best teacher. I assume that just did not meet the needs of some of the students or they didn't come to my office for help. <br /><br />Our needs are all different. I believe that if my need is not being met that I have a responsibility to let someone know and perhaps help to fill that same need for others. <br /><br />Keep up the good work.Stanley Klemetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814075224630668321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968487116675968684.post-56513813281601438272011-02-24T16:22:53.830-06:002011-02-24T16:22:53.830-06:00Well, let me get a word in edgewise.

I have been blessed and inspired by what BWG has offered me, and I have been encouraged and motivated by your personal support. That’s all I have to say about that. :)Rachel Windhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13645144633930658375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968487116675968684.post-23760536700432837272011-02-23T16:26:00.395-06:002011-02-23T16:26:00.395-06:00Okay before you respond, please realize that this ...Okay before you respond, please realize that this post isn't about ME and whether I was a good president. I'm not fishing for compliments; I'm satisfied with what I did and gave to the membership.<br /><br />This post is about YOU and if BWG as a whole, met your needs during my years as prez. That was my personal goal and that's what I preached to my board members: We wanted to help YOU reach YOUR goals. If we didn't, then we failed. I want to know why. Your fault or ours?<br /><br />If you ARE one of my board members, then we probably didn't meet your needs because we were too busy working for others. :) Just know you're precious to me and I thank you for all your help and encouragement.Jessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.com
