Kelli and Christina: Hey, you need to let all the Eastsiders know when such rolicking good times are just a train ride away.

I'm going to have to remember all this for next year, even if I do only live 20 miles from the hotel! Wow, you really worked this event into a mini-vacation.

And whao, what did you do, photoshop my entire face? Cuz that's a darn good photo of me, and these days that is a rare banana. Well, if you did photoshop me, just don't tell. PS Your Tammy just wasn't telling. At night she snuck off with Ken in the Barbie RV. If the pink RV is a-rockin, don't come a-knockin! :~) Wasn’t it fun Elizabeth>?

It's my favorite event of the year, too. And...this year...I actually WON a basket! First time to win anything, ever! :) Not only do we have a fabulous time, but the proceeds benefit such a worthy cause. I can't imagine what my life would be like without the joy of reading.

I've been to loads of these things, but Portland's is the model for perfection! A joy to attend, both as an author and a reader. And Kelli, I put GPS in that basket, so I know where it has been . . . shame on you. :) I just can’t rave about this event enough.

You're one of our favorite people and are always welcome at our events. And my favorite task is selling those lottery tickets that raise the money and provide people with wonderful baskets of goodies. And we love to have you come to Portland for our luncheon, Elizabeth!

And, lucky me, one of the books I bought was yours! It is wonderful to hear that the authors have as much fun as the readers. It is a wonderful event and this year we know we raised more than $2,000 for literacy. Lots of fun and for a good cause. :) We so appreciated having you, Elizabeth, and all the other authors who come to our luncheon. And, lucky me, one of the books I bought was yours!

This year was organized really well, granting lots of socializing time. One of my fav authors/speakers always shows up too - all the way from Seattle! Yep, that's you Elizabeth! This event is probably the only thing I do, every year. There's always a different conference to try, new places to visit, family celebrations, etc. that keep my schedule in turmoil year to year. It's a good thing the RCRW lunch is in my own backyard. Of course it is "my" chapter that sponsors the event and I am the Treasurer, but I did attend 2 lunches these past 6 years as just a "reader". I love that this lunch raises money for literacy too! The inside scoop on that is, a few times our chapter lost money on the luncheon in order to up our donation to Oregon Literacy from the year before. How cool is that? See you next year, if not before! Cheers! I also adore the Rose City Lunch for all the books, fun and friends. This year was organized really well, granting lots of socializing time.
