Meetings
Our monthly meetings are both fun and informative.
At each meeting, we discuss chapter business,
share writing news (both good and bad), hold a
potluck brunch, and have a guest speaker present
a writing-related topic. We also bring in used
books that fellow members can buy (just 10 cents
each) and hold a loony bin draw ($1 for a chance
to win an item donated by a fellow member). All
money raised from the loony bin and the sale of
used books goes towards GVC's operating costs.
Prospective members of GVC are welcome to attend
one or two meetings for free while deciding whether
to join the group. (And we sure hope you'll join!)
Don't be shy—we promise to make newbies
feel welcome.
Unless indicated otherwise below, doors open
for set-up at 10:30 a.m. and meetings begin at
11:00 a.m. More information about speakers and
topics will be added as it becomes available.

REMINDERS
Members, please remember to bring to each meeting
food for the potluck brunch, any used books that
you no longer want, and gift items of good quality
for the loony bin draw. If you want to borrow
a tape, book, or video from our library,
be sure to send an email to our librarian so that
she can bring the item to our next monthly meeting.
