From a University of Wyoming press release:
Teachers and administrators from eight Wyoming communities will take part in the 2007 Writing Project Summer Invitational offered through UW.
Connie Currie, director of the Wyoming Writing Project and a lecturer in the UW Department of English, says the group will attend workshops and a variety of educational events. The WWP's goal is to improve writing and writing instruction across all grades and curricula in the state, Currie says.
Participants begin with a three-day retreat July 13, at the historic Elk Mountain Hotel, where they will form a "writing community." The group will participate in a series of intensive writing workshops on the UW campus July 18, followed by an informational field trip to Rock Springs on July 20. The writing invitational will conclude Aug. 4, with the presentation of an original play at the Trading Post dinner theatre in Centennial. This year's play is based on the 1885 "Chinese Massacre" in Rock Springs.
Participants in the summer invitational are Denice Davenport and Roxann Shook, Cheyenne; Stephanie Malcom, Dixon; Kathy Morsett, Douglas; Nancy English and Leslie Rush, Laramie; Wendy Phillips, Medicine Bow; Debra Fisher, Mountain View; Traci Blaize and Robert T. Moore, Rawlins; and Ann Elder and Linda Hazaleus, Wheatland.
Currie will be assisted by Debby Boller, Oakland, Calif.; Ashlie Boltinghouse and Carrie Langston, Cheyenne; Lori Howe, Colin Keeney, Patricia Romero, and Katee Vallad, Laramie; and Wes Nethercott, Detroit, Mich.
