Dwight Zimmerman our soon ot be President has graciously donated ten copies each of "Saga of the Sioux and Lincoln's Last Days" to be sold at the book table at our conference and the proceeds donated toward the costs of running the awards program.

An indication of his belief in the program and the direction MWSA is taking. I am sure I speak for the members when I offer my thanks for this generous donation.

Below I have included Dwights comments on this.

With Dispatches on a brief break some authors may not have been recognized as they would normally. If you see these authors on line congratulate them.

I encourage members to check out the reviews on the folling winners.

I apologize to everyone, but we are testing the MWSA website's ability to send announcements to users. If you have not tested the new site, please do!

We are going to be asking members for suggestions during the 2012 MWSA Conference. Remember, the MWSA website belongs to you.

Again, we apologize for sending this test to everyone, but we were having some bulk-mail problems.
