Even if you are not planning on attending the luncheon, consider signing on to make a donation to the ISS . While membership in the International Spenser Society is free, donations are very much appreciated. Funds go towards things like medals and cash awards for the Colin Clout and Isabel MacCaffrey prizes; financial support for international Spenser conferences like the one held this summer in Dublin; and subsidies to cover travel, membership, and attendance at the annual luncheon for graduate students presenting papers at ISS-sponsored panels. > > This year’s luncheon will be held at the Bella Vista Room at Osteria Pronto in the J.W.
