Good news! We are confirmed for Happy Hour on April 5 at 4 pm in the Commons at First Presbyterian Church. The entrance to the Commons is on the alley that runs parallel to and between N. Forest Street and N. Garden Street, and is directly behind the YWCA building. There are a couple of dedicated parking spaces directly outside the Commons and more parking in the FPC parking lot (as well as alley and street parking).

Please bring your own refreshments and a few dollars to contribute to the pot.

See you Saturday!!

PLEASE JOIN our April 2025 Red Wheelbarrow Writers NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) Facebook page. If you want to write poems, or enjoy reading poems, this is the place to be in April. Our goal is to write a poem each day for the entire month. It’s a fun project to stretch your creative muscles and share in a supportive community. The group is private so if you choose to share, it does not count as “publishing” your poem. We invite you to write and then post your daily poem or post if and when you like. Whether you’re new to poetry or a seasoned poet, bring your words to the page. There’s no shortage of material! It’s a tumultuous time and we need poetry more than ever. Support your fellow poets by reading and commenting on their work.

For more encouragement, inspiration, and resources, including an optional prompt each day, check out the NaPoWriMo website, www.napowrimo.net. May your April be filled with creativity, community, and poetry. We look forward to reading your poems.

The Red Wheelbarrow Writers NaPoWriMo FB page is a private group. If you’re affiliated with Red Wheelbarrow Writers and wish to join this private group, here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1550386535224686. Our moderators will then review and add you to the page. Because this is a private page for the Red Wheelbarrow Writers community, it’s not open to those with no affiliation with Red Wheelbarrow Writers. If you’re on the RWB email list, if you’ve attended a monthly Happy Hour, if you have a piece in one of our anthologies, we welcome your participation.
