Member meetings are a time of learning and networking for aspiring and established writers. They feature a speaker, and usually occur the first Thursday of the month in the Fellowship Hall at First United Methodist Church, 410 E University Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626. Location details are available here. However, meetings will temporarily be held online until it’s safe to meet in-person.
You’re invited to arrive 30 minutes early for social time and stay afterward. Meetings usually last one hour. Visitors are always welcome and may attend two meetings without paying dues.
