North Carolina Haiku Society’s 31st annual Haiku Holiday

From the event site:
Come celebrate the 31st annual Haiku Holiday with the North Carolina Haiku Society on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Experienced haiku teachers and poets will conduct workshops, talks and walks. The event is open to anyone with an interest in haiku, beginner or advanced.
Our first Haiku Holiday took place at Bolin Brook Farm near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in the United States of America on January 26, 1980. Since then, all of our annual meetings have been held at Bolin Brook Farm—thanks to our gracious host and member since the beginning, Jean Earnhardt. Our Galleries section has a few pictures from past Haiku Holidays.
If you are going to participate in a workshop, bring previously written, unpublished haiku—or you can dash one off after the ginko (haiku walk). Membership in the North Carolina Haiku Society is encouraged but not required. There is no membership or registration fee, but small donations will be gratefully accepted at the workshop.
Please bring a bag lunch.
The main contact for this meeting is Dave Russo.
Presenters include Roberta Beary, Lenard D. Moore, Robert Moyer, and Dave Russo.
