Don't forget to circle your calendars for our June 25th mtg. (10:00 a.m. Lady Lake Public Library on Guava St.) to attend Vic Digenti's "Making A Scene" workshop. If we fill up our mtg. room to capacity we have been given permission to walk over to the community bldg. adjacent to the parking lot. Pls. be aware that there is construction going on and parking will be limited in the parking lot area. However, there will be plenty of street parking available. Critique session will be abbreviated to make sure Vic has plenty of time for his presentation and for Q & A's afterwards. We plan on going to to lunch afterwards for fun and fellowship. Only registered FWA members will be allowed at the workshop portion of this mtg. Guests will be dismissed after the critique session. There is still time to join FWA on line via www.floridawriters.net
