Our members are not only talented, but give of their time generously, and we recognize their achievements and contributions in multiple ways.
- The Jack London Award: This award honors a branch member whose service to the CWC and/or a branch has been exemplary. Each branch may select one award recipient biannually in odd-numbered years. The award is presented at the July annual California Writers Club meeting of statewide representatives.
- The Sue Tasker Memorial Service Award: The CWC Tri-Valley Branch created this award in 2008 to honor the memory of Sue Tasker, the founding president of the branch and volunteer extraordinaire. Sue has been described by members as “doing the work of three people.” She displayed an endless passion and drive for the Tri-Valley Branch in her two years as president and then as vice president and program chair.
- TVW Community Scholarship Award: The CWC Tri-Valley Branch created this award in 2017 to give back to our writing community, specifically to sponsor a scholarship at Las Positas College—our local community college. As part of Tri-Valley Writers Mission Statement of supporting and educating writers, Tri-Valley Writers set up a scholarship to be awarded on an annual basis to a deserving student at Las Positas College who is considering writing as a career.
