The highlight of the WCW's year is the annual Authors' Tea honoring members whose books have been published over the past year.

The 2011 tea, held on March 13th at the home of Sherry Barber, honored longtime member Fran Syverson on the publication of her book, Inner Views. Congratulations to Fran!
