WFR Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary with Style!
We had a great time on Saturday, October 19th, celebrating Writers for Recovery’s 10th anniversary in style! We broke out copies of our new book, One Imagined Word at a Time, Volume 6. (You can order it here.) We enjoyed fantastic readings by WFR participants and Vermont Poet Laureate Bianca Stone. Lieutenant Governor David Zuckerman and Alan Cormier, Chief of Operations from the Vermont Department of Corrections, stopped by to share their support. The Bent Nails House Band supplied a serious groove. And as promised, there was cake. Yes, cake! So many WFR participants old and new came to the bash, and it was so great to see all of you
A $10,000 Anonymous Donation!
Just hours before the bash kicked off, we received a $10,000 anonymous donation. Wow. Just wow. We are gonna make the most of that amazing generosity with amazing programming in 2025.
Special thanks to photographer Terry Allen for shooting and sharing the photos you see here. Completely out of the blue, she contacted us to volunteer her services to help us share our anniversary with the world.
