Keep On Writing
It seems like everyone is ready to predict the end of this crisis;
but until the bans are lifted, there will be no meetings of the Sun
Lakes Creative Writers, a group of folks who love to write. Hopefully,
everyone will spend this time writing and/or reading. It's actually a
good time to write that book, or at the very least a long short story.
Normally we meet at the Main Clubhouse in the Multipurpose Room
between 3 and 5 pm on the first Monday and third Wednesday of
each month. There are no dues, no formal meeting agenda, and no
opening song or crazy hats; it's all about writing. You get to read
whatever you are working on, sort of like the Broadway tryouts
in Philadelphia before going big time. Whether your writing is
a memoir, poetry, fiction or non-fiction, the group can offer you a
gentle critique or suggestions — or sometimes simply a good old
fashioned, "Hey, good job!" When the time is right and the world has
some semblance of order to it we will be back in business, laughing
and crying at our group's stories. So, in the meantime, just take a
Tylenol, gargle and wash your hands one more time and keep an eye
on Lifestyles or channel 97 for updates on our next meeting.
For more information call Roger Smith at (951) 769-2808.
Sun Lakes Mudslingers
We meet Tuesdays from 6 to 9 pm and Fridays from 9 am to 12
pm in the Arts & Crafts Room. No prior experience needed. We
have the use of two kilns and there is a potters wheel for those who
wish to learn or have prior experience. Our wonderful instructor
Bear is there to teach, help or advise. He has years of experience
and is a certified instructor. We do hand building and wheel
throwing.
The cost is $60 per month for materials and includes clay, glazes,
tools, and firing. All you need to do is bring yourself. Try out a new
hobby with very little expense and no new "stuff " to store.
Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
