A Note About COVID

Now that state and county mandates have been lifted and we lean into this new level of normal, we ask that you:

provide full COVID vaccination proof, and
continue to social distance while in the building—with or without a mask—as fits your comfort level.

Members and guests, when you RSVP, you will be prompted to take a photo of your vaccination card and email it to MembershipCWC@yahoo.com. You’ll only have to do it once and we will have you on our VIP List. As you arrive for the meeting, we will check you off the list. We will also accept showing vaccination cards at the door as a last-minute emergency—though prefer not to have to do this because we don’t want to have to turn anyone away as we follow city & county mandates.

If you have questions, concerns, or thoughts, please contact us.

CWC's Virtual Writing Salon & Social Time

Tiffany Grantham

On Monday, July 11th at 7 pm come write for 75-minutes or so. We’ll have a little face time, a little catch up time before she spins instrumental music for your mind to riff on. Following each prompt, there will be time for volunteers to read aloud.

Please join us, there is no pressure, no angst, just you and your writing instrument and your untamed creativity. Bring your own characters, write with your own story in mind or let your thoughts dance across the page. Shake off the dust of the day and perhaps when we’re done, those tunes will have you humming something brand new, a song that really jazzes you. Writers of all genres, all stages of the craft are welcome. CWC members will receive an invitation with the Zoom link. If you want to be our guest contact us here and we’ll send you the link.

Tiffany is a Children’s Service Specialist for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, short story-fiction writer and secretary for CWC’s executive board. Learn more about Tiffany by clicking on her page. Check out her website and blog at Creatiffwritng.
