The last two Summer Networking Dinners are being held next week on Aug. 23rd and 24th. We have a spot available for Aug. 23rd and one spot on Aug. 23rd. If you are already secured your spot for Aug. 23rd, then please look for my e-mail listing your dinner choices. People on the 24th do not have to make their entree choices in advance. People on the waiting list for September 8th in Princeton, NJ. I am working hard to try to add and editor or agent for that dinner, so don’t give up, yet.
Remember you can sign up for the First Page Session taking place at the Wyndham Hotel and Conference Center on September 20th. Sarah Dotts Barley, Associate Editor at HarperCollin and Ariel Colletti, Assistant Editor at Atheneum/Simon and Schuster will be joining us for the session and dinner afterwards.

Anyone who has sign up to attend, please make sure you have your manuscripts ready to submit. The deadline is August 27th.
Don’t forget that about the NJSCBWI Free Craft Day on November 5th. Space is limited, so you need to register in advance. There will be a dinner afterwards with the editors and people can chose to stay for dinner and hear our quest speaker, agent Stephen Frazer.
On November 6th, there will be a Mentoring Workshop and Illustrators’ Day. The Hyatt Regency is giving us a reduced price for anyone who wants to stay over on Saturday night. Here is the link to more info for this weekend of events.
So many of us know Rebecca Frazer, Aquistions Editor at Jabberwocky/Soucebooks. I have confirmed that Rebecca has resigned and will be letting me know very soon as to what she has up her sleeve. In the meantime, it will not help to mail your manuscripts and query letters to Rebecca. Check back for more details on this turn of events. We certainly wish Rebecca the best and hope she can still be involved with all of the SCBWI.
Talk tomorrow,
Kathy
