Literary Cocktail Party Fundraiser

By Sophia Kercher
Writing Pad is hosting two fab events this weekend to raise funds for the Writing Pad Ojai Retreat Scholarship fund to allow a destitute but talented writer to attend Writing Pad’s Ojai Retreat. They are not to be missed. I hope to see you at one of these events!

Can't attend? Donate anyway and be entered into the raffle for a 5 week writing class series at Writing Pad. Just click on the button at the bottom of this article.

Literary Cocktail Party
Don’t over-think things on a Friday. Writing Pad will be swelling with hot artists and folks more interesting than that guy drinking his fourth Budweiser at the bar! Along with getting down for a good cause, there will be cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, the musical stylings of DJ Hyde, and raffle tickets that include a chance to win a five week class series at Writing Pad. (Shhh, we’ve been told there’s something in Marilyn’s sangria that gets the creative juices flowing.)

Fri., Feb. 25, 2011
8 p.m. - midnight
Cost: $20 donation to scholarship fund (includes drinks, hors d'oeuvres, DJ'd party, and entry into a raffle for a 5 week class series at Writing Pad)

Writing Marathon To Benefit The Ojai Retreat Scholarship Fund
Don’t worry about getting sweaty, this marathon is done Writing Pad style. Your creative muscles will get a great workout over gourmet snacks, soft music and candles. Marathon-goers will keep the pace of their pen moving fueled by six interactive writing exercises in three hours and creative camaraderie. At the end of the marathon, expect to have a chunk of your project done and a ton of new ideas to shape your writing practice.

Instructor: Marilyn Friedman
