Shared Interest Group Events

We gather to share a poem we have written on a chosen topic, and give gentle feedback to each other.

Whether you’re beginning your writing journey or have written for years, the Creative Writers Circle is for you! Everyone is welcome to join our friendly, supportive group of folks eager to learn from, and laugh with, each other in a safe, nonjudgmental space. Not quite ready to share your work? Come anyway, we can’t wait to get to know you! Contact: Sharon Groten

No prior roleplaying game experience is necessary and feel free to drop in and out as you see fit. Contact: Zack Schreiner
