Poetry News For August 31, 2010

Jilly Dybka — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 05:09:17 +0000

Last week (Thurs.) was the 7th anniversary of poetryhut.com and so Poetry Hut Blog.

Another tidbit: I had blogged here about issues I was having with the Ehlers Danlos National Foundation. I received an email today, which was sent to all members, announcing that the EDNF offices in Los Angeles are closing, there is a new Executive Director, the CEO has stepped down, and they have partnered with a company that does non-profit management to decrease the fixed operating costs of the organization by 30%. The new offices will be opening soon, in VA.

I hope this goes well for everyone involved.
