No First Friday in December; FF in Jan. will be the Second Friday

Hey all, happy holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It has become clear that there is no way I can be at FF on December's First Friday, and it gets worse the second Friday of December, so December is out for FF.  January you can consider it firm that we'll meet the second Friday.

First Friday set for Oct. 5, 6:30 PM, Woolson House, Rollins College

Here's hoping you kept a place on your calendar for our First Friday gathering.  Oct. 5, same time, same place.  Bring 15 or so copies of your work so we can follow along as you share it, or don't bring copies and we'll just listen.  :-)

See you soon.

He's Back and Hasn't Changed a Bit!!

Greetings First Friday.  Our planned Sept. 7 meeting will be postponed to Sept. 14!  Make a note and tell your friends.  See you then.  Bring copies if you can, usually about 12 to 15, and if that's not enough we can share around the room.  The practice is to spend 10 minutes with each person who wants to participate.  You can read the whole ten minutes, or read five minutes and let us discuss for five.  It will be so good to see you all again.  --  Philip

Greetings, hard-working writers. We're on for this coming Friday, 6:30 p.m. in Woolson House on the Rollins College campus. Bring at least 10 copies of your piece of prose or poetry to share. Each writer will have 10 minutes. This is a supportive group offering constructive feedback to help one another bring our writing forward. We encourage all levels of writers to join us--even the most proficient can enjoy helping others to improve.
Wonderful news: Dr. Philip Deaver will be back in his armchair on September 7th, offering his warmth and wisdom as always. It's great that we'll have him back soon.
I hope to see many of you on Friday.
Best, Kathryn
