Jennifer and Mike, since you weren't with us for the closing day...Concensus on Thursday was to meet the last Saturday in each month instead of the last Friday night. Logic: writers will be traveling and will probably be tired. Agreement to meet on Saturday, August 25th at 10 AM. The name of a teahouse in downtown Greenville was suggested location. Could someone fill in the name, address, phone # of this teahouse. Alternative meeting place: consider Wright Student Center?
Bring writing to share, possibly post on our current blog in advance.
Our goal: to have at least 5 people to hold a first meeting. If we have more than 6 writers, then we can break down into two smaller groups. To coordinate the first meeting: Please post on this blog strand to confirm attendance at the first meeting. Can you mark this date on your calendar and commit to attending no later than Thursday, August 23rd? Those of us who have to travel to the first meeting need this information. Let's make this happen!
Questions to consider before or at the first meeting: Do we want to invite an interested writer who did not attend the Summer Institute to become a part of our writer's group? Discuss setting up a new Writers blog space.
If Saturdays work best for us, you might want to mark "HOLD" on the following Dates for the rest of the year: Sat. 9/29; 10/27; 11/24 (after Thanksgiving); 12/29/07...jg
