I have advised Richard Nagel, the current president of the London Writers' Society, that I must divest myself of all responsibilities I have been carrying out for the society - website maintenance and updates, newsletter creation and editing, and maintaining the email delivery system - effective September 1, 2010.
This is year four for me, and I need to hand things over. It's time for others to get involved and lend a fresh perspective.
Anyone interested in volunteering to update the website (built in css) or who is interested in working with Richard to create another newsletter, please contact him at:
president(at)londonwriterssociety.ca
If no one comes forward and the society is unable to pay for website maintenance, then it is possible that the site will simply have to come down as there is nothing worse in cyberspace than a stale website with inaccurate information.
(Well, maybe it's clicking on a link on some innocent-looking site in a search for legitimate information about a legitimate topic and facing some hideous bit of pornography, and yes, that happened to me once.)
I don't know if I will have time to add posts to this blog; time will tell.
If, however, the LWS site must be taken down, then the issue will probably be moot since this blog was meant to be a quick way to add supplemental information to the website.
September 1st will mark the end of four years of extensive volunteer work on behalf of the society, so that's a great date on which to end it.
It's been an adventure, but all adventures eventually must end and give way to new ones, and a new one awaits my full attention.
