 Writers Guild meeting minutes 2/21/2024

From the Desk of Cindy (guys, we need to vote in a new Secretary…just saying….and a Treasurer)

13 Members in attendance:

Jeremiah, William, Ryan, Amare, Josue, Tajané, June, Tai, Savannah, Kim, Edward, Don, Cindy

It was a working meeting. We made posters with misspelled words, stuffed stress balls, attempted to make comets, and discussed who was working at the Eclipse event.

Eclipse Day, Monday, April 8 – school is closed that day

• We have the following people scheduled to work at the Eclipse event: Angelina, Amare, Savannah, Tajané, and Jeremiah (I think you said you could do it...let me know). Did I miss anyone?
• We could use one or two more. Whoever works it, needs to be committed to showing how great the group is and can stay for a few hours.
• Please let me know ASAP who will work it. We have to cover the booth from 7/8 am until at least 4 pm.
• I could use help with setting up, so if you can be there by 7 am, please let me know.

We also posted photographs and members wrote stories, thoughts, and poems about them.

We also shared our character analysis and talked about what type of writing we liked to do.

Cindy bugged everyone again about entering Byways. Link for Byways https://www.ctcd.edu/academics/library/byways/. Deadline March 15. We will not accept even one day late as we have less judging time.

Welcome our new members Jeremiah, Don, and Ryan! We’re glad you’re here!

Please let me know if you can’t get into Discord.

Here’s our blog link https://ctcwritersguild.blogspot.com/. If you want access to our blog you must send Cindy a gmail email. It doesn’t take eaglemail. I will send invitations to those members who gave me their personal email.

Agenda for Feb 21 Writers Guild Meeting

 Greetings Persons of Creativity, 

From the desk of Cindy...

You guys are all very talented writers and artists. We don't have many Byways entries for poetry, short stories, and music lyrics. We have none for metalwork, music score, sculpture and short plays. Drawing, digital art, painting, and poetry need more. So make sure you don't miss the Byways deadline of March 15. We only have 2 meetings before the deadline, so make sure you share your work, register your work, send your work, and be a part of CTC history! 

One more thing...…..remember that questionnaire I sent in the last meeting minutes? Yep. I need you to answer the questions. I'll post it at the end. 

One more, more thing...….we have new members (Tayshayla, Savannah, Tajane, Eugenia, and Jeremiah, so make sure to give them a welcome in Discord and at the meetings) 

Ok. And now From the Desk of Angelina...

 

Agenda for the 21st of February,

Hello, 

I hope everyone is faring well, and had a wonderful week!

I am going to keep this agenda short this time so without further adieu, here is the plan for our next meeting:

1. Meet and greet

2. Open the floor for new info from our sponsor, aka Cindy

3.Workshop, (aka, labor for our sales at the eclipse) 

4.(To be done at the same time as three) Share our works and just open the floor to discussions!

I know it's not much for activities, so if anyone has any ideas, please bring them with you to our next meeting, we are mainly going to use our time to prepare for the eclipse by tracing/cutting the necessary fabric!

As always, I can’t wait to see everyone there!

Sincerely, 

Angelina Ortiz

Writer Guild President.
