DECEMBER 5 HOLIDAY PARTY WILL BE AT LIN’S BUFFET—NEW LOCATION
11:30am Lin’s Buffet, 10100 Coors Road (about 1.3 miles north of Hometown Buffet on the opposite side of Coors). Due to the sudden closing of Hometown the end of October we have moved our holiday party to Lin’s. Yes, it is a Chinese buffet but there are many American dishes as well and it may be the largest buffet in Albuquerque. When you pay tell them that you are in the private party! Lunch is $9.48 (includes tax and drink; please add about $1.50 for a tip!!!!). No speaker -- just a good time! You must RSVP (344-9382) that you are coming so we get the right size room!

SWW Presents:
The Write Answers: Solutions for Authors and Authoring with Ron Chapman
Saturday, November 1, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
$20 for members, $30 for non members
Please note: All Workshops take place at
New Life Presbyterian Church
5540 Eubank NE
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Click Here for Map
No registration. Pay at the door.
Call Southwest Writers for further information: (505) 265-9485 or visit: www.southwestwriters.org
In his June presentation to SWW, internationally accredited speaker and facilitator Ron Chapman (a former long-time Albuquerque resident and radio host at KUNM-FM), explored writer's inner obstructions to success. Now in "The Write Answers" he'll offer his unique expertise in a facilitated trouble shooting session that not only provides information on the challenges writers' face both in the writing process and in the publishing industry, but provides interactive opportunities for each participant to tackle their personal barriers to success.
Participants should bring several questions about what they perceive to be obstacles or their "stuckness," and explore what they perceive as a limitation or obstacle and Ron will help you see the opportunity within. From his own journey as a writer and author (and through the scores of interviews he conducted with New York Times best-selling and emerging local authors on KUNM-FM) and by working with small presses and trying to get name and book recognition, Ron knows where you've been and how to move beyond limited thinking.
An internationally recognized and accredited speaker and consultant, Ron Chapman nurtures creative thought and action while facilitating personal and professional growth and organization and leadership development, assisting clients in deepening their awareness, changing their perceptions, and cultivating insight and understanding to allow any challenge or problem to be overcome. A self-described full-time, all-time student of human, organizational, and cultural dynamics, Chapman, through his company, Magnetic North LLC, travels throughout the United States, Europe and recently, Zimbabwe, Africa, delivering powerful keynote addresses and conducting Seeing True seminars and workshops. Author of Seeing True: Ninety Contemplations in Ninety Days, What a Wonderful World and the Seeing True series of audio discs "The Way of Success in Leadership and "The Way of Spirit," Chapman is also a national award-winning social radio commentator.
