Meeting this Saturday!

Don't forget our meeting this Saturday, March 23 at 10:30. We'll be meeting at our new location, the Cape Girardeau Public Library. Once you go in the main doors, turn right and turn right again to find the Oscar C. Hirsch room. A map is included in this post.

If you haven't already, please take our very short survey about what direction you want our chapter to head this year. The link will let you start over if you get interrupted, but will only let you take the survey once. We'll discuss the results Saturday morning:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6DRTFCT

Also, don't forget to bring any items for our writer's supplies/inspiration basket for the conference. It can be ANYTHING that you think a writer needs or wants for writing and inspiration. Please include an approximate value of the item.

See you soon!

Updated Information on Upcoming Meetings

For those who missed the last meeting and the announcements so far, from now on we will be meeting at the Cape Girardeau Public Library, 711 N. Clark, Cape Girardeau, Missouri. As you walk in the main doors, turn right then right again down the hallway to the Oscar C. Hirsch room.

Our first meeting at the Library, March 23, will be with Robin Tidwell, owner of All on the Same Page bookstore. She has a unique perspective on marketing and publishing you will want to hear. 

April 20th, the week before the MWG conference in St. Louis, we will celebrate National Poetry Month by having a guest speaker from the Library talk to us about Poetry. We will also have our first open-mic "Poetic Reading" event. Bring your one or two of your favorite poems or prose poems to read to the group. They can be works you've written or your favorites others have written.

On May 25th, we'll get a tour of the Library and all it's many resources. You will not want to miss this one! You may think that the Cape Public Library is just a place to check out books to read but it is so much more!

We are working on lining up speakers for the rest of the year, so check back frequently for updates.
