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.
