On Sunday, October 22nd, Coastal Dunes Secretary Carole Wagener was presented with the Jack London Award, given to members who have generously given their time and talents to their local California Writers Club branches. Carole writes about the experience:
“I’m counting my blessings and am thankful for being a charter member of Coastal Dunes for the past eight years. Everything I know about writing, I learned here. Jack London, one of our founders said, “You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.” I was honored by our Coastal Dunes branch to be the 2023 recipient of the Jack London Service Award. It was an awesome experience as the California Writers’ Club gave out twenty-two Jack London Awards and three Ina Coolbrith Awards.”
From all of us in the Coastal Dunes Branch, Congratulations, Carole!!
