We are still unable to use the library meeting rooms so we will continue to hold our monthly meetings virtually via Zoom. Third Saturday of each month at 10:00 am.
As we usher in the new year we welcome Pauline Greenlick to the board. Pauline will be serving as treasurer for the 2021-2022 term.
We hope that 2021 will bring the opportunity for us to get together. Until that time, please follow us here and on our FaceBook page for details on any virtual events we may be hosting.
Be well, stay safe, and keep writing!
