SCWES Silent Auction
SCWES Silent Auction
Heather Conn mounted this lovely raku vase, that I thought was an incense burner (ha ha), that she nabbed from the SCWES Silent Auction outside her home. She filled it with peacock feathers from the bouquets I created. Anyone else have pics of what they did with their silent auction items?

BENEFITS OF AN SCWES MEMBERSHIP
BENEFITS OF AN SCWES MEMBERSHIP
SCWES has many benefits for your $30/year. We are a supportive and inclusive group, here to help all of our members develop at all levels. We have a diverse group from beginners to a Governor-General award winner.
We have a monthly group meeting, usually held the last Sunday of the month at Mission Point House starting with a quick business meeting, then a program, such as book launches, workshops and speakers. We break for the summer months of July & August.
We hold our Sunshine Coast Art & Words Festival at the Gibsons Public Market with many events, all free except workshops for writers, artists and photographers at a nominal cost. The call out to participate happens at the beginning of the calendar year.
We have an online Membership Directory for authors who want to promote themselves at: https://www.scwes.ca/membership-directory
We have a quarterly magazine, "Not An Island" both online and paper-based that gives members an opportunity to be published. We also publish an annual in time for our festival.
With both our website and FB page we keep members up-to-date with news, contests, and their achievements.
https://www.facebook.com/sunshinecoastwes/
You will receive a monthly calendar of our many events as well as those in the community. We give opportunities to our members to promote and sell their books and other goods to the public at no or minimal charge during the year.
But of all that we have to offer, building a sense of community is the best thing we have to offer. We collaborate and take part in several community events throughout the year.
100 Writers in 100 Years on the Sunshine Coast Kickoff Event.pdfPurpose
Purpose
There’s an influx of new authors to serve on the Coast as well as our solid base. There’s a new generation of young authors and publishers to pass on the blue pencil to and retirees, who are ready to lay their astonishing memoirs at our feet if they can just get going on it.
We are a magnet for creative souls on the Coast. We may not know exactly why, but it’s almost mandatory that you’re a potter, painter or writer to live here. We have our ensemble of diverse voices, and within it there are cozy groups organically and beautifully forming.
