Citrus Crime Writers, Inc.
2018 Meeting Schedule – Summer Hiatus
Dear CCW members and friends–
Being how we are a brand new chapter, finding a regularly scheduled location has been a bit difficult. As many of you are aware, we have had several locations loose our reservations and double book us, and those locations include libraries. Most locations, again including libraries, also charge upwards of $30-40 an hour to rent a room for a meeting. With that said, the board has determined that until we get a stable cadence with meeting locations and speakers, we will be moving to a quarterly meeting basis.
I would like to return to a monthly meeting schedule as soon as we are able to secure locations for several months in advance. We also need time to establish relationships with locations outside of the Orlando area to better accommodate our membership as well.
The next planned meeting will be in September. We will send out advanced notice ahead of that meeting as to location and time. We will be introducing the chapter at the upcoming Indie Book Fest (https://indiebookconvention.com/) in an effort to increase our membership as well.
Thank you for your continued attendance and support of our chapter. We will continue to update our websites and send out emails with the latest information as we have it.
Have a great summer and keep writing!
