Check out the Warner Hall web site at www.warnerhall.com to see pictures of the beautiful inn, the exquisite grounds and sample menus.

To make our ALL STARS event the best ever, we need GREAT STARS to read... and guess what?... THAT'S YOU!! So find that favorite poem, short story or essay that you have written and share it with the Club. Members Only are eligible to read! Length should be no more than EIGHT MINUTES reading time. Only one entry per member. Your work does not have to be submitted in advance.

If you would like to read, complete the form below and press SUBMIT at the bottom of the form. Please include your best estimate of the time you will need to read your piece to help us maximize the number of readers while keeping the program to an aggregate total time of 90 minutes or less.

Those in attendance will vote for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winners who will receive cash prizes of $75, $50 and $25, respectively. Attendees will also vote for the most humorous entry, the winner of which will receive the annual "Richard Bailey Humor Award" and a $25 prize. Winning entries will be recognized in the next CBW newsletter.
