Thank you to all who made the 2009 Rally another success!
We hope you enjoyed it all as much as we on the Rally committee did.

We especially want to thank the generous donors who made scholarships

We also greatly appreciate donations and assistance from:
Gibson's Bookstore; La Señorita Mexican Restaurants;

For more information, or to get on an email mailing list, write to us at arallyofwriters@att.net with your name and address. (FYI: official replies will come from our mailing address arallyofwriters@att.net .) We now take online registrations with PayPal. We are a small organization of volunteers-- we can't handle credit cards directly, but we do take personal checks. We don't provide confirmation of mail-in registration, we just can't afford the postage. However, I do confirm online PayPal registrations, and I will respond to all email inquiries as quickly as possible. If you send us a check and registration form, you're in. Generally speaking, there has always been late registration available at the door. However, if a Rally is booked to capacity in advance, your money will be promptly refunded with an apology and explanation.
