The Oshkosh Area Writers Club will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 21 in the lower level conference room of the Oshkosh Public Library.
A reminder that we will not be doing critiques in order to hold our annual holiday party.
Please bring a wrapped white elephant gift - something you already own but don't use/need that is in great condition. Keep in mind the "gift" will be used as a writing prompt for the recipient.
Donuts and soda will be available; feel free to bring something to pass.
We will also take a group photo.
