• Matt Negri is our new co-sponsor. Welcome too! He’s the Station Manager at KNCT-FM here on campus and he’s way cool! (Now you will have 2 of us making you crazy! 😊)

The name of the club was formally changed in a vote. We are now the Guild of Creative Expression.

• We did this because we are creators of all types.
• Our meeting minutes were changed to be called the Goc-E Talkie and our nickname can be the Goc-E’s, if we want to call ourselves that while shouting it across the courtyard. Hey Goc-E!
• We still have Writers Guild on the tee-shirts though until they are all gone.
• Members get a tee shirt after attending 5 meetings and volunteering for one event.

**** We talked about our creative goals and dreams and encouraged each other on pursuing them.

Next meeting:

• Wednesday, August 20 at 4pm in room 211 and online
• We will go over the roles of officers and other positions, as well as our constitution and by-laws to see if we need changes.
• We will be looking for volunteers to work at the Welcome Bash on Aug 28. 
• Please send agenda ideas to Cindy for the next meeting.

Fare thee well!

 

Haunted House info and Open House

 Hi Writers Guild,

We still need a couple of people to stand at a table this Saturday in the Anderson building anytime between 9 and 1pm to tell people about the Writers Guild. Let me know if you can work any of that time. 

• We're on the second floor. 
• Podcasters Sania, Jess, Jessica, and Randy, come into the large room and find me. 
• We talk on the radio at 9:30am. 

Also, there is a lot of work we have to do at the next meeting with drawing, painting and building for the Haunted House. If we start the meeting at 2pm that day, can you guys come in earlier to work on the props, decor, and costumes? Otherwise, we may have to dedicate 2 meetings for completing the work. The meeting is next week and not tomorrow. 

• I'll bring the stuff up at 2pm and if you can come early, please just show up. 
• Since we will be working on stuff here, our online guys, will you draw some scenery stuff to give us ideas? 
• Any online writers, be writing some dates that we can paint on the tombstones. We decided to just put the angels and the dates on with no epitaphs. 

We're mainly building 

• tombstones to stand up, covering them, pasting the angels onto the tombstones and painting dates (I made copies of the angels that we can cut out, paint, then paste on the tombstones).  
• Then we're tracing tombstones on large pieces of paper, painting them and adding some scenery in the background.
• We're also pinning costumes together
• I have the black light to try on the clothes and scenery

Hopefully, I'll see a few of you this Saturday and I'll see the rest of you next Wednesday for a working meeting!

Thanks,

Already published? 

• I am contacting our members who have been published to see if they want to be featured by our CTC marketing department. They would love to hear your story and how Writers Guild was part of your journey, whether it be writing, art, digital art, music and more.
