This senior citizen center is holding a monthly contest. This month this edition of the newsletter will sponsor this next round of the contest, the one currently running. I will pay for all prizes this round from a fund set up by me to help sponsor contests all around the site. There is no prompt this round and the contest will run through the end of the month.
A Moment In Time
Last newsletter, this contest was highlighted. If you haven't already checked it out, now's your chance, there's still time to enter! This month's prompt is to write at least 400 words, but no more than 1000, on a single moment in time. The prompt is: a minute of failure - The deadline for this round will be February 19th, at 12:01am WDC! At last count there were twenty qualifying entries, so get yours in soon!

Don't Forget The Newbies!
The holidays have come and gone, Valentine's Day is freshly over, and many are still trudging through cold winter nights. If you've lost your zest for recent activities, don't! New members are still joining the site steadily, seeking friendships, looking for advice, or just introducing themselves. There are plenty of activities for holidays, but only a few that are centralized around welcoming newbies.
This is an oldie, but a goodie: a forum for new members to introduce themselves in. It's full of activity everyday, so why don't you stop by and welcome someone new? Remember, you too were once a newbie. Most of us remember the welcoming embrace by others members, so why don't you stop on by, even if it's just to say hello?

Hi. I've utilized this site for a long time, and am having some trouble getting interest when it comes to a wrestling-meets-writing contest I am holding. Can you please consider featuring it in your newsletter? Thank you for your time!

March is not far away and with it comes St Patty's Day! My favorite holiday, not only because March 3 is my birthday, but because it's an Irish holiday and I have an Irish heritage.
This is a scavenger hunt. Contestants look for game pieces hidden throughout the site, and get game tokens to "purchase" prizes at the end. The game runs from 12:01 am March 17 and ends 11:59 pm that day.
Looking for contestants and volunteers to participate. Don't delay, come right away!
