   Chicon 2000 is proud to announce the Meet-the-Pros reception this year

   will provide an opportunity for fans to get autographs from attending
   authors, artists, editors, publishers, and agents in a party
   atmosphere. All authors at Worldcon will be invited (whether or not
   SFWA members). In addition in support of the literacy programs set up
   by RWA (Romance Writers of America) with Laubach Literacy* SFWA has
   extended a special invitation to members of RWA to attend Worldcon and
   the Meet-the-Pros party. As an added attraction SFWA and RWA will be
   raffling off packets that include autographed books and other gifts
