Judith Ashley
is the author of The Sacred Women's Circle series, romantic fiction that honors
spiritual traditions that nurture the soul.
One of the things I miss about being a long distance
member is supporting the chapter by volunteering in various capacities. This year, because
I was there early, I helped stuff the Conference bags with books and
other swag. So many items were donated it was hectic ---but fun!
I’ve two books by new-to-me Sourcebooks authors on my TBR shelf (Samantha Chase and Amy Sandas), a very cool name
badge and a couple of note pads. One of the most useful to me items (a 5X7
spiral bound notebook) was donated by J. Kenner. I used it to take notes at the
workshops I attended.
My volunteer duties included a stint at the
Registration Table, Raffle Room and Agent & Editor Desk.
Volunteering at
the Registration Table gives me a chance to meet people early on. I’m then able
to chat with them either in a brief exchange or maybe sit with them at a meal
or workshop and get to know them a bit better.
2018 will see me traveling again to Arizona in order
to spend time with family, friends and attend a Desert Rose chapter meeting. If
you live anywhere near Phoenix, you have two great chapters to choose from---the
aforementioned Desert Rose and also Valley of the Sun. Check them out.
Writing romance is always better when we’re connected to other romance writers.
