The COVID restrictions have been lifted at Westfield Athenaeum and we will once more be able to have our monthly meetings in person in the basement (lower level) Committee Room! Our first in person meeting for 2022 will be Saturday, March 19th, from 2PM to 4PM. Masks are optional, however, if you have not been vaccinated, have only been partially vaccinated, or have been vaccinated but have health issues please consider wearing a mask for your safety as well as the safety of all members. The room is large and we are able to distance from one another by maneuvering tables around.
Susan will update everyone on news in regards to Articulture 2022 which was last held in 2019 at the Church of the Atonement. We were supposed to have Articulture 2020 in the new, larger venue at Amelia Park Arena with 24 authors lined up when the event was cancelled due to a resurgence of COVID-19, and was cancelled again in 2021 due to the Omicron variation running rampant through the region. We're excited to be bringing the event back, bigger and beter than ever (the event began being held annually in 2016 at the Women's Club, then moved to the next block at the Church of Atonement on two levels, and now we'll be in the even more spacious and handicapped accessible, not to mention beautiful, Amelia Park Arena.
A number of WhipCity Wordsmiths have been publishing new books since we last met in October or November last year, while others have new works in progress. It'll be catch-up on the news day. Bring something you've written to share if you'd like to.
Kelly and I are looking forward to seeing as many members as are able to attend!
The April meeting has already been scheduled for the same location and times on Saturday, April 16th, so please put that on your calendar now because you all know how bad I am at finding time to update the blog!! Again, I apologize for this- I just wear too many hats at work and in the community and find myself with never enough time to manage everything I need to do!
See you on Saturday!!
