Topic: “Open Mic 2-Minute Readings”December 2nd 2023
■ 9:00am - 9:30am Networking
■ 9:30am - 11:00am Guest SpeakerLet's have some fun! As we do each year, we get to know our members just a little bit better through their written words. California Writers Club members have the opportunity to read aloud 2 minutes of their written works to our audience.
Keep in mind that readers will be limited to official members of the CWC. Guests will not be invited to read at this event. However, this is a good way to learn about the members. Come enjoy the original writings from heartfelt to humorous to mesmerizing to mysterious, discover kindred spirits among OC's finest writing community.
In January our featured speaker format will return as the CWC Orange County chapter continues to provide education, inspiration, and motivation to local writers. But in the spirit of the holiday season, we take the time to get to know each other just a little better this month and share some written gems. Come join us!
