  • Holiday Extravaganza and Debutante Ball Update! While we won’t be having our in-person Holiday Extravaganza this year, you can enjoy the same excellent information from the comfort of your own home. Coming in December: a holiday newsletter with fun details about 2021, followed by a special edition announcement with cool links introducing our 2020 virtual debutantes!          Please be on the lookout in December for our special Holiday Edition Newsletter, highlighting exciting news about our region in 2021.         Keep writing and illustrating.

Deadline: December 4th   Wait, an announcement? Via email? Say, what! Yes, we know it's not the same as presenting in person at our super fun holiday party.

Debs, you can use this promo video anywhere you like! It's our gift to you. We will continue to promote you, and your videos, through our website and social media outlets, too.   So, don't hesitate, and apply now so our region can get busy celebrating.   To apply to be a debut(ante) for the ball...
