October 9th Meeting Preview

Good evening! The weekends pass too fast for me. Our next meeting is on October 9th, and will be led by Young Adult author Eugene Orlando in conjunction with manuscript editor Kaye Coppersmith. This promises to be an action-filled night from what I've heard. It is a hands-on experience that will get everyone involved. This is a good night to come out and work on your craft.

I hope to see you all there.

September Meeting Recap

Thank you to everyone who came out to welcome Suzanne Baginskie. Thank you also for your support as I begin my role as leader of your group. There were 25 in attendance, including a good number of visitors, and I know Suzanne enjoyed sharing her experiences with writing for the Chicken Soup series.

We'll be working on speakers for next year, so if you are visiting the site, don't forget to vote in our poll of what you'd like to see and do. Remember, this is YOUR group!
