Clarion West

With your help, we've once again raised the money needed to meet the Amazon.com challenge grant three months early. Amazon.com told us they would give Clarion West $25,000 if we could raise $25,000 by October 31, 2010, and as of July 31 we've raised over $30,000. The 2010 Write-a-thon was essential, bringing in over $9000, almost half of what we needed. Our community's generous donations of time and money are making it possible for us to run one of the world's premiere writing workshops. Thank you to all our friends and supporters, old and new: Potlatch, Norwescon, the Carl Brandon Society, the Susan C. Petrey Fellowship, King County 4Culture, Amazon.com, and the growing list of those who keep Clarion West a going concern even in tough times.

If you thought you'd have three more months to help us meet the challenge, you can still contribute, of course; donations are always welcome. Keep visiting our website to find more ways you can support us, and thank you again.
