Upcoming Meetings and Events

Emerald City Romance Writers meetings are open to chapter members and guests. Since membership dues support the costs of hosting these meetings, we ask that visitors join our organization after one or two visits if they wish to continue attending.

If you would like to attend an upcoming board meeting, please contact us for arrangements.

Meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted, usually with a summer break in July and August.
