ATTENTION WRITERS: No Meetups will be scheduled this summer. We will resume in the fall.   Each month we read and discuss a book devoted to the craft of writing.  "Do I have to read the book?"   Although technically not required, it is preferred. Although the discussion can move off onto tangents, the focus will be primarily on the contents of the book.  However,  if you do not have time to read the entire book, reading SOME of it is perfectly acceptable. Even digesting a few o …

(We're not really grumpy.  We just need our coffee) A writing group for the early birds or wannabe early birds who aspire to get some writing done in the early hours before the day eats everything.

May it serve as a building block for your morning writing practice no matter what kind of writing you're doing.  At this time there is one weekly me …

We hope to educate, inspire and get others as hooked on SUP as we are! So whether you're new to SUP or a seasoned veteran, come out and make some new friends, have fun and enjoy being on the water.

Our earliest meetups will probably be noon, perhaps 11ish, and we will have more late afternoon playdates at homes and, when weather permits, outsi …
