A Word from NCWN-West Program Coordinator

I am home, making sure I have no visitors, and I am not going out unless it is absolutely necessary.
Being in the High Risk group of Americans who are more apt to die from Covid -19 if I should be exposed and become ill, I am practicing all the guidelines from CDC. I urge all of you to do the same.


Recent news from Ed Southern regarding the NCWN Spring Conference



I know some of you have seen and shared this online already. For those who haven't, please help us spread this sad news.

Please stay tuned, though, as we announce more and more online options. Later today we'll open registration for a free Online Open Mic that we'll host next week, and we will open registration for our Cabin Fever Conference - an online alternative to the Spring Conference - as soon as possible.

The Network isn't going anywhere. In fact, the Network will be even more active in the coming days, weeks, and months. We're almost uniquely well-positioned to keep writers connected and supported through this tumultuous time, and that's just what we intend to do.

More soon. Take care. 
Yours, 
Ed Southern

Let's use this forum to let our members know what is happening in the NCWN-West region. 
What are restaurants in your area doing to reach their customers? How are you coping with staying home? What is the medical community doing to keep safe and meet the needs of the public in your county? Here in our rural area, it is not easy to keep up with local happenings. 

Angelos's Pizza in Hayesville, NC is open and offers take out. Food is good and service is excellent.

Well, you can teach an old dog new tricks

I am teaching a class for Tri-County Community College, but the college is closed and my students voted to hold the class online.

With help from others, I set up through Google Classroom, and we held our first class Monday evening. I will work hard this week to gain all the knowledge I can to make this a great class for my students. I think it will be fun and interesting as we all learn how to use Google Classroom.
