WORD UP
We’re always impressed by how well our Fellows can write. Many of them join our writing groups. Why? Because teachers are smart but also gentle critics. Come hear some of the poetry and prose our Fellows have worked on during the year. And if you are considering joining a writing group, this is your chance to feel the vibe.
Bring a friend and have a drink on us.
Tickets are free for teachers and their guest!
