This is a writers' club meant for all writers to learn more about the art, share their work, and learn from other writers about their work process, publishing, and writing journey.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a brief excerpt from any Work In Progress (WIPs) or other material they are willing to share. At your discretion, you may bring handouts with the material printed on it.
Writers of all levels are welcomed, including people just wanting to learn more!

Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way than to help others in our community! We are gratefully accepting donations of new and unopened items, such as diapers, baby formula, clothing, toys, small household items, etc. These will be distributed via a "giving tree" that will be set up at the Baldwin Boettcher Library.
Those in need of something from the tree will bring us a leaf from it that lists an available item and will be able to leave with the real item in hand. There will be a limit of 1 item per family per week.
