ANOTHER BOOKSTORE EVENT WITH PAST WINNERS
A NOTE FROM SIDRA VITALE (WOTF 21)

Myself (v.21), Aimee Amodio (v.18), and Lon Prater (v.21) will be coming together at Booklovers Gourmet in Webster, MA, on March 10th for a booksigning and reading. This is the second time I've visited Booklovers, and a first for Aimee and Lon, and its our mini-reunion from the '05 workshop, since that's where we all first met.

(I will also be a member of the team representing New England School of Law at the National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition at Pace Law School, Feb 22-24. Don't know if that's blogworthy for WOTF or not, but it's my news and it's next week!)
