Celebrate the new year with others whose passion for writing is as strong as your own. Join us for a meeting filled with open-mic readings by our members during our Winterfest celebration. Sign up early to snag one of the nine five-minute reading slots. This is your time to share your poems, flash fiction, short-short stories, or excerpts from longer form manuscripts with your fellow writers. Attend the meeting on Saturday, January 18 at 2:00 p.m. at Four Points by Sheraton, 5115 Hopyard Road, Pleasanton. Check-in begins at 1:30 p.m. RSVP to Keith Ahrbeck by Wednesday, January 15, at reservations@trivalleywriters.org. See “TVW Monthly Meeting Details” on this page for fee information.
