What I Want From a Writing Club
Novembers 25, 2025
6:00 PM

We’re having a light meal, installing officers, and giving everyone a chance to express their ideas. A panel, including Judi Phillips, Suzanne Stauffer, and Janet Greger will lead a discussion on “What I want from a Writing Club.” For example, do you want Croak and Dagger help arrange more opportunities for members to sell your books? What topics would make good programs in 2026?

Our treasurer, Suzanne Stauffer, will also explain a new easy way to join or renew your membership in Sisters in Crime nationally and in our local chapter. 

EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT OUR MEETINGS. You don’t have to be a mystery writer.
If you have suggestions for other speakers you’d like to hear in person, come to a meeting and tell us your ideas.
