Imagine the aroma of freshly baked bread lling the air as we gather to share our favorite homemade creations. is isn't just a club — it's a delicious adventure! Bake your best yeast bread and bring it along to enjoy with fellow baking enthusiasts. We'll swap stories, share tips, and dive into the triumphs (and ops!) of our baking journeys — all in a cozy home setting. Each month the group will decide what to bake or make the following month. Let's knead, bake, and bond over warm, homemade goodness! Who's in? Anyone interested, please contact Teresa Keeling at 909-633-3164. MEMOIR-WRITING (OR ANY KIND OF WRITING) Come join me! No writing experience necessary AT ALL, simply show up with pen and paper, iPad, Laptop (whatever tools preferred). Sessions will gather (45 minutes to one hour?) to compose short "chapters" — only 'one-and-a-half ' to two pages in length, more if you like; however, keep in mind that BREVITY is the place/idea for simply BEGINNING. Guidance, motivation, inspiration… whatever is needed, we will nd together. ere are also numerous programs found online to give writing prompts and inspiration. HOWEVER, our particular gathering is purely for that — the sharing of ideas/experiences, socializing, learning together, inspiring one another — any or all of that. Writing is a solo, oen much-too-lonely (!) a path to venture all on one's own. Come, join me. Hope to see you soon. Johanna Mackey, (951) 533-1189.
