Regular Club Meetings:
Writers and Illustrators Meeting:
EXERCISE YOUR WRITES
We talk Writing and Poetry and Illustration. We share our works in a round table discussion. We also offer monthly prompts to be used to stir our imaginations. Create a Story of approximately 1000 words. Write in any style (poetry, prose) and any genre (Drama, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Comedy, etc.) or create an illustration using the prompts as inspiration. Join us and share your work.
We’re excited to let you know that we’ll be moving our meeting time starting in March to the second Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. We hope this change makes it easier for more members and guests to join us! It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together, unleash our creativity, and share our love for art in a supportive atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing all of you there!
Meeting: 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Coffee and Conversation:
This get together will take place on the 4th Wednesday of the month starting from 1:30 till 3:30. The idea is to break up the week for older adults to talk Art, Quilting, and associated passions. Join us for a fun filled afternoon of fun filled talks, without the worry of driving at night.
