1) We did a meet and greet for our new members and for some we haven’t seen in a while. Welcome and welcome back!

2) We created a very bizarre story about sheep, wizards, cannibals, sharks, Tik-Tok, and an arms dealer and then a very funny announcer with an Australian accent retold the newsflash.

3) Then we broke into clans and shared what we are working on in music, poetry, writing, artwork, and video/photography.

4) Byways was discussed briefly with more badgering to come. Here’s the link with info: https://www.ctcd.edu/academics/library/byways/

 

Note: We discovered that if you need to meet with us online, please email Cindy the morning of the meeting and let her know you need to get into Teams. She can only invite one person at a time and not the list as she regrettably found out yesterday.

Remember to join via app and not browser.

Our next meeting is Wednesday, Feb 19 at 4pm. See you then!

 

Meeting Minutes January 22, 2025

 

Writers Guild meeting minutes for January 22, 2025

There were 12 members in attendance: Tajane, Chloe (new member), Devon (new member), Caleb, Allyra, Sheli, Kiera, Dave, Amare, Cindy, Sania and Jo (come to visit us again) 😊 Welcome new members!

We did the meet and greet, then talked business stuff:

·         We needed volunteers for Welcome Bash. Thank you Tajane, Laisha, Jayla, and Amare! (Hope I didn’t miss anyone). They recruited about 30 more people!

·         We need volunteers to be in a play on Feb 19 at noon. Caleb volunteered to play MLK Jr., a new member, Trynity wants to volunteer also. Does anyone else want to play Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, or Toussaint Couverture? ESOL Professor Dianna Ramos will give you a script that you can read.

We did an activity where we practiced pulling in the reader. Many of you write and forget the reader can’t picture what you see. So, we worked on not just telling a story, but to make a story relevant to the reader.

The next meeting is Wednesday February 5 at 4pm in the library, room 211.

Please send activity ideas for the upcoming meetings.

·         People asked if we could do a Guild War again

·         Another idea is to create a commercial for the Guild

Important! I am working on getting Teams to work during our meetings. I promise I will get the link right for the next meeting.
