Appropriate for Women's Month, we're reading Old Baggage, a novel by Lissa Evans. The story concerns a once-militant suffragette years later when she tries to stir up a younger generation to become activists against Fascism. To join in, contact joannborri@gmail.com.

The book group postponed its January 20 meeting at the request of the presenter. We will discuss The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West on February 17. 2 pm. To join the Zoom discussion, please RSVP joanneborri@gmail.com.

We hope people are still interested in writing their thoughts about HOME, even after been sequestered therein for so long. We have received only a few excellent and evocative contributions so far, including  one painting that is charming! Of homes in good times and bad. Of visiting a writer’s home.  Of the many places the writer has tried to call home.

Join in! Remember, it can be a poem (or two), a drawing, a short essay, a play or a song, so long as gets to us by April 1 – but the sooner the better. All contributions that meet the entry requirements are accepted. Click for the Publish page to see details.
