The state capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin
The following is the text from the Governor’s Proclamation recently signed by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle declaring September 26 through 28, 2008 to be Wisconsin Regional Writers’ Association Inc. Weekend. I joined this organization this year, and encourage everyone to look into writers organizations and associations in their region. I believe in supporting others the way I wish them to support me. For more information on WRWA, see their web site at http://www.wrwa.net/
From the proclamation signed by Governor Doyle on August 25, 2008:
“WHEREAS, responding to an invitation from State 4-H leader Professor Wakelin McNeal, in 1948 eight 4-H leaders came to Madison, met with Professor Robert E. Gard and created a statewide writers’ group that emerged into the Wisconsin Regional Writers’ Association, Inc. (WRWA):
WHEREAS, 2008 marks the 60th Anniversary of WRWA, a non-profit organization that strives to draw together the many writers in the state and provide an opportunity and an outlet for creative writing.
WHEREAS, WRWA exists to support the growth and development of writers’ of all forms and genres, from poetry to journalism, and from history and remembrances of the past to creative fiction of all kinds written by both amateur and professional writers; and
WHEREAS, WRWA desires to remember and honor the past as well as shape and influence future generations; and
WHEREAS, many prominent Wisconsin writers are and have been members of WRWA; and
WHEREAS, WRWA reaches out to individuals; education institutions; and other groups, including the Wisconsin Arts Board and the Wisconsin Humanities Council; and
WHEREAS, WRWA encourages literary expression and appreciation for the arts, cultural aspects of Wisconsin life, preservation of local history and folklore of passing eras; enrichment of our lives through education and worthy discussions about writing; and dedication to all forms and genres of writing;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jim Doyle, Governor of Wisconsin do hereby proclaim September 26 – 28 , 2008 as WISCONSIN REGIONAL WRITERS’ ASSOCIATION, INC. WEEKEND and extend sincere congratulations and best wishes to the Wisconsin Regional Writers’ Association on this their Sixtieth Anniversary.”
Pretty cool, eh?
