Thursday morning’s All-Member Zoom is happening, per usual, this Thursday, January 9 at 9:30 am. Sue Lerner will send out the link and questions on Wednesday.
Sunday Arboretum Walk, January 12, led by Dick Zerbe. Meet at 9 am at the Graham Visitors Center.
Are you a writer who benefits from silent writes on Zoom with others? Join Peggy O’Donnell and other writers of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays, essays, and other ways of expressing your artistic soul in words as we show up for ourselves and commit to our writing at regularly scheduled times. We usually write in three half-hour timed sessions, silently, with others on camera in the corner, in order to be in community while doing our own work. Contact Peggy at margaretplaywright@outlook.com if you are interested.
Micki Lippe would like to host a recipe exchange at her Capitol Hill home. Let me know if you’re interested and have recipes to share and we’ll find a date.
