This month's meeting was held in the BPL meeting room as well as on Zoom. Members present: Jennifer, Glen, Marilyn, Rick, Sue, Natalie, Marshall, Jeni, and Debbie.
Treasurer's report: $573.42, no sales since January of the anthology.
Last month's meeting was a write-in, and Jennifer, Jaqui, and Natalie each totaled some impressive numbers, and made headway on their respective projects. The next write-in will be in November.
