Come join us for our Christmas Social! Get into the Christmas spirit and mingle merrily with your fellow writers.

You also do not want to miss the entertainment segment either! Our CVWS members have been working on their articles for the writing challenge – to write a contemporary Christmas or Hannukah (or the celebration of your choice) short story in verse, fiction or nonfiction.

With a gambit of making the tone of their articles either funny, heart-wrenching, inspiring…or whatever feels right, the Open Mic entertainment segment of the meeting promises to be…well, entertaining and worth attending.
