Don’t miss the Sunday, October 20, Rockford Writers’ Guild meeting at Burpee Museum, 737 N. Main Street, 1-3 p.m. That’s just a week from today.

Bring a short prose or poetic retelling of a story that you wrote yourself.

And, winners of the “Smooth as Ice” poetry contest are invited to read their poems.

James Marshall, Ph.D., will lead the meeting.
