We're drawing toward the end of the year, a busy time on both fannish and non-fannish fronts for many of us. We wanted to be sure to remind you that the next few weeks are your last chance to qualify for tax deductions in 2010 (United States). If you've been thinking about donating to the OTW but haven't done so yet, you may want to take a look at your finances and see whether it would be to your benefit to do so before December 31. And if you're employed, please find out if your employer offers matching donations!

The results of the election are in. In alphabetical order:

Francesca Coppa
Ira Gladkova
Kristen Murphy

Congratulations and thanks to all our candidates, each of whom is incredibly qualified and hard-working. We are proud to work with every one.

Board members from this election will serve for a 3-year term.

We're a week away from the OTW's first contested election for seats on our Board of Directors, and all eligible voting members of the Organization for Transformative Works have now been sent voting account information!

The OTW's October 2010 membership and donation drive has come to a close.

We've been thrilled by the response, and will be busily double-checking our figures for a few days. We want to be sure to count our donors who used eChecks and physical checks, the ones who donated by surface mail as well as those who took advantage of our online donation system. We'll give you a full report as soon as we can be sure of the information.
