Most of all, though, our programs are made possible by you,
our members, students, audience members and friends.
Here's how you can help ensure that terrific literary arts programs continue to be available in CNY:

• Become a DWC Poetry Patron. For a donation of only $25, you can be a Patron for a Visiting Author Reading
  Series event of your choice... and if you choose to sponsor four or more events in 2008, you will receive a free
  copy of one of our DWC Poetry Broadsides! For more information, click here.
  
  
• Become a DWC Member. An annual membership to the DWC costs only $35, and gives you many terrific
  benefits, including the lower Member tuition fee for all courses, advance registration opportunities for all
  workshops, and more. For a membership form, click here.
  
  
• Bring Friends! Tell your fellow writers and readers about the great community we have here at the DWC.
  When one of your friends joins the DWC for the first time, we'll give you a $10 discount on tuition for your
  next DWC workshop!

Thanks for helping make our programs possible!
