be done too soon. -- Jane Austen

If you are a fan of all things Austen, you belong in the Jane Austen Society of North America—Southwest! This region covers Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and Ventura counties. JASNA-SW offers you the opportunity to make friends with compatible Janeites who love the novels, letters, life and times of Jane Austen.

We offer two regional events a year: one in the spring, and again in early December. These meetings include speakers on a variety of topics related to Jane Austen and the world of her books, and entertainment and activities such as period dancing, plays, and readings. Meetings take place at locations throughout southern California.

Our twice-yearly publication, The JASNA Southwest Newsletter, keeps you apprised of local and national events, contains information on the reading groups, and features articles of interest on Jane and related topics. Only members receive the newsletter.

We also currently sponsor five local reading groups.

Dues support the reading groups and defray the expenses of regional meetings and publishing the newsletter.

We have established a differential pricing structure for attendance at JASNA-SW events. Non-members are charged more to attend, so it really pays to become a member. Also, at some venues space is limited, and members naturally have priority.

In order to avoid missing out on these fascinating programs, please join or renew your membership today. Membership in JASNA-SW costs just $15 per annum.
