Hello Everyone,

Today we held our February meeting.

TALKING STICK:

Submissions are coming in slowly. So far, we are not getting too many creative twists but hope to get more.

WRITING EVENTS:

PRLAAC—No one was able to attend the February meeting. Mike did tell us some of the highlights of their minutes. They are doing a survey to promote Region 2 Arts Council.

Our Ryan is a finalist in the Young Adults category for the MN Book Awards. Hooray, Ryan!

Marlys will be attending a writers’ retreat in Brainerd on Sunday Feb 26 with Candace Simar.

Mike plans to attend the Rosemount Writers festival in March.

Northwoods Writers Conference in Bemidji will be held June 20-25.

University of ND writers is March 24-26. You can attend online. Mary always attends this.

Dawn is continuing her Scientists and Writers event.

Everyone brought something they were working on. We took turns reading and critiquing. Three of us used this month’s words to create poems or stories. Excellent meeting! Hope to see you all next time.
