Sunday, January 25, Board Meeting - Judy Lopez Memorial Award By Ruth Light

Who gets this annual award? How does one apply for it? Where is it presented, and when did it start, and who have been the previous recipients?? All of these questions, and more, will be discussed and answered in a meeting on January 25th. Judy Lopez was one of the founding members for our Los Angeles chapter of the Women's National Book Association, and our current treasurer, Jeff Slottow, is her brother. And we, as a chapter, have been organizing and supporting this national award for excellence in literature for 9-12 year olds for decades.

Please join us for this meeting. We seek and benefit from our members' input about our chapter activities, and the Judy Lopez Award is the biggest event of our year. January 25th is the date, and the time and place will be announced soon. There are many opportunities for significant and meaningful participation in the presentation of this award, including author representation, author escorting, program development, and many more. Mark your calendars, and we will send out the particulars soon.
