Hello, Sisters, Misters and Other Folks!
Based on the success of our lunch hour Zoom Meeting last
week, we have decided to move forward with on-line meetings until we can once
again meet at the Runway Café. I’m delighted to announce that Carla Damron will
be our speaker on May 7th at 7:00 PM via Zoom.
Carla’s topic is Writing on the Edge: Straddling Genres. She
will discuss her evolution as a writer. A clinical social worker, she's always
explored social issues in her mysteries. After plunging into literary fiction
and completing an MFA, she's immersed herself in two projects of literary crime
fiction. She says she sometimes wishes she'd taken up crochet instead.

About Zoom
Next week I will be sending you the log-in information for
our meeting. I will enable entry to the virtual meeting room at 6:30 so that
you can chat with one another in advance of Carla’s presentation. Promptly at
7:00 PM I will start the meeting and explain the interactive capabilities of
Zoom and how you will be able to ask Carla questions. Best of all, we will be
recording this meeting and will make it available to everyone on-line. So even
if you can’t join us on May 7th, you will still be able to watch the meeting at
your convenience.
Feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions.
Look forward to continuing our virtual journey together.
Stay safe and healthy!
