[Leslie Hankins]

Forgive multiple emails; some reported glitches in the earlier one.

*Dinner plans for IVWS members and interested others:*

        You are invited—with 30 of Virginia Woolf’s other closest

friends—to an International Virginia Woolf Society dinner party at MLA

in Chicago, the evening of Saturday, January 11th, at 6:15 in the

evening. The venue has come highly recommended:  a local legend of

Chicago: Shaw’s Crab House:

The menu is delightful and varied; we will have 5 entrees to choose

from, including such choices as grilled salmon, Maryland crab cakes,

chicken, vegetarian cous cous, and others.   The meal will include

soup, salad, entrée and dessert—as well as wines.

        And, Shaws is right near the downtown hotels, at 21 E. Hubbard

Street, so we can easily segue over there after the appetizer of the

VirginiaWoolf and London’s Colonial Writers panel, which ends around

4:45 or 5.  The dinner at Shaw’s is set for 6:15, and we have a room of

our     own, the Oyster Hall of Fame room.

        We will saunter towards the restaurant after the session, or taxi,

depending on the weather. The cost per individual is $55. The IVWS

will contribute wine (Meanwhile the wineglasses had flushed yellow and

flushed crimson; had been emptied; had been filled), the gratuity, and

subsidize $20 of the individual price for graduate students. If you

mentor graduate students, consider inviting them to the dinner and

bringing them along.  It is always so refreshing to share our

camaraderie with new members or members-to-be.

        Spaces are filling quickly, so please email me TODAY because the

first 30 to make reservations will be the lucky ones at the party.

First Come, first served!  Do sign up quickly so we can plan ahead

with wines and festivities.  Contact me at:
