The Central Vermont Gay and Lesbian Meetup Group is a social group that meets at public venues and at the homes of members who feel comfortable opening their home for a social activity.

A perfect gathering is one that incorporates a sense of well being in a social atmosphere such as a dinner, pot luck, movie night, game night or a round table discussion. These are just a few of the activities along with hiking, outdoor adventures, sightseeing and social networking. This is your group so please make sure to expand your experiences and BE SOCIAL!

Many of us are busy with life but we want a social outlet that is open, healthy, outgoing, supportive, diverse and compassionate. We are open to everyone with no judgements on political leanings.  Our group was formed in 2015 and our hope is to give every member a chance to make new friendships. Help this group grow by joining today!  Members are expected to be kind, honest, trustworthy and friendly while respecting personality differences.  We build social relationships.

Writers collaborating to improve their skills through workshops and learning events... • **WORKSHOPS:** Join with other writers from around the blue planet on Zoom as we discuss and work to perfect our writing every Friday morning, open to any genre: fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, nonfiction, memoir, flash, poetry, or screenplay. Stephen Kastner encourages emerging writers to join the Friday Open Genre Workshop for engaging MFA style discussions with a small, private and select tribe of writers willing to read and review each other's work in a creative test bed. We host the Poetry and Performance workshop with Darlene Witte on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month • **PUBLICATIONS:** The **[Green Mountain Writers Group](https://greenmountainwriters.com/)** (GMWG) publishes a website TO facilitate our workshop events, and an online journal featuring works developed by our workshop participants. In 2023, we released our first print publication, a compilation of GMWB Members' poems, *Poetry & Performance – Volume 1*. **NOW TWO FLAVORS OF GMWG:** I just acquired the former Burlington Writers Workshop Meetup Group after Peter Bielo recently abandoned it. After more than two years of no activity, I have the chance to rebuild and restore our group. There are 2,734 existing members. I plan to restore live meetings in person, in the city, that we sadly lost when COVID struck three years ago. I changed our Meetup name to **Green Mountain Writers Group \| LIVE** ([https://www.meetup.com/burlington-writers](https://www.meetup.com/burlington-writers?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1Qfh4KK8WMsGig-WMb4ri0BRJx3m-Kz1Lr7Yk3ox-96LCSCye5w1tU3Rk_aem_8UFyk3K7avFv0n5fDX8xHw)). I also lead the **Green Mountain Writers Group \| ZOOM** that I founded on Meetup in 2021 at [https://www.meetup.com/green-mountain-writers/](https://www.meetup.com/green-mountain-writers/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2B8lhKi2Xhc54wQGYLUpaJ53dNfEjs7CA7b6pdhPRlsRGdT9pZ7rqkufY_aem_VP5oasz9g-pqP6ZSDbp1bQ) to host our 760 members from all across the USA and internationally with meetings on Zoom. About the founder: **Stephen Kastner:** Since 1997, I have been an independent consultant at DesignWise Studios. I began a visual artist in painting and photography. In the 80s I worked as a professional photo-journalist for the NYT papers in Florida. In 2006, I lived in Yunnan, China and spent 6 months as a filmmaker while designing the curriculum for what was to became the top-rated Chinese Culture Spa on TripAdvisor, the Linden Centre. Now, I employ writing, digital photography, videography, graphic design, and networked media to create all varieties of digital storytelling and I coach authors on self-publishing.
