Dear SF-Peninsula Branch member,
News Update August 15, 2022!
August Meeting
Register to attend our August 20 meeting to hear our own Audrey Kalman and Jennifer Browdy in “Birth Your Truest Story.” A writer’s most formidable obstacles often come from within. Harsh inner critics, fear of facing emotional truths, and the tyranny of ingrained habits may hold us back from bringing our stories freely onto the page. Can’t wait to hear this one!
Hybrid Meetings — In Person and on Zoom, plus meeting fee
Members and guests pay $10 to attend a meeting. Join us online (Zoom) or in person at the Sequoia Yacht Club. You'll receive the Zoom link after you pay the $10 monthly meeting fee and prior to the meeting. Cost at the door is $15 at the door.
