Super Saturday 2020


ALL LCW EVENTS INCLUDING MARCH MEETING AND SUPER SATURDAY 2020 CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS

Dear LCW members/conferees:

It is with sadness and disappointment, but not without prayerful evaluation and consultation, that we announce the cancellation of our SS2020 one-day Christian writers conference scheduled for Saturday, April 18th, at Lancaster Bible College as well as this month's workshop, scheduled for next Saturday, March 21, at Lancaster Alliance Church.

Just some background as to making this decision. Several writers conferences (I was teaching at one) and countless other events for this weekend have already been cancelled. You likely know that schools and universities have suspended in-person classes indefinitely, including Lancaster Bible College where conference was being hosted. A ban for travel to and from Europe goes into effect at midnight (my husband just landed from Hungary, thankfully). Churches have also been advised to shift services online, and LAC, where we typically meet, will NOT have church open for any activities at least next two weekends, including scheduled LCW meeting.

When this weekend’s conferences began to cancel and more precautions began to be announced, we had hope that the situation would all be blown over by SS2020 five weeks from now. But whatever should be the situation (and I am no epidemiologist to judge),  precautions are clearly getting more comprehensive, not less, certainly within the five weeks that remain till our scheduled date. LBC can't even guarantee the campus would be open for date in question. So we are prayerfully making what we hope is the wise choice to cancel now while registrations are still light.


REFUNDING REGISTRATIONS: We will be refunding all registrations sent in to date. Most refunds were made online and will be refunded through PayPal straight to credit card/PayPal accounts from which they were paid. Please give us a few days, then let us know if you feel you should have received refund and haven't.  At this point we don't think any checks have been deposited while those few that arrived in mail will simply be shredded without depositing. If you HAVE paid by check and believe your check may have been deposited, please contact us direct to make arrangements for reimbursement.

It is our hope to reschedule our conference in the future and to resume regular monthly meetings as soon as possible. Meanwhile may I encourage you to take this extra time at home to explore the many online webinars and other resources for writing. And of course to actually write!

Please help us on your end to get the news out to any social networks to which you may have shared the upcoming conference.  put out a notice.We will be communicating as soon as we are able to resume our normal LCW calendar year.

Blessings, Jeanette Windle
President, Lancaster Christian Writers
