January 14th Meeting

Our next TGCW meeting will be held on Monday, January 14. Don't forget, we are now meeting in the club room of the West End Lodge at 4215 North Major Drive in Beaumont @ 7 pm.

The purpose of this meeting will be both business and sharing. Please remember it is the responsibility of ALL members to share their thoughts and opinions. This is the only way your officers can serve you properly and we can all benefit.

We will vote on our by-laws and our 2013 officers, complete membership applications, and member bios.

We will discuss plans, speakers and activities for our group in 2013.

Our remaining time will be to share. In previous discussions and at the December meeting we began sharing our favorite resources, tips for using our writing time effectively, and writing goals. Please feel free to bring examples of your favorites.

I will also be sharing news about several writing conferences as well as submission and market opportunities.

As always, please feel free to share your thoughts and concerns. Let's make 2013 the year we enjoyed the most writing success - at least so far!

Sylvia
