Notes

Unless otherwise noted, all regular meetings are held in the game room at The Sentry Box bookstore, 1835 - 10th Ave. SW, 7:00 PM, the first Thursday of every month. Meetings are currently preceded by 50 minutes of skill development (beginning at 6:00 PM). Writerly games, 15 minutes of exercises, will be held at the conclusion of each meeting.

If you arrive during readings, please wait until readers are finished before moving furniture. The readers are bravely letting us listen to their work and their ability to deliver a good presentation can be affected if their concentration, or that of the audience, is distracted by late arrivals.

IFWA members, please join us for private discussions on The Yahoo! group.

Members, please notify me if you know of events not listed here or if you have news to impart--classes, lectures, performances and especially acceptances. I'm very happy to receive photos. If you have them saved as GIFs or JPEGs even better. Email me for details on the best way to send 'em.

'Til next time, sweet dreams.
