Metro DC OLOC chapter meeting.

Submitted by Judith on Tue, 12/10/2013 - 13:42

Our first event will be getting together at the Nikki Giovanni reading at Busboys and Poets in DC on November 29th (5th and K St, NW, 6 pm). Look for Deb Morris, Deb Friedman, Sue Lenaerts and Judith K. Witherow. (Carol Anne Douglas can't be with us for this great event).
The reading of Nikki's new book "Chasing Utopia" is great. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy.
If anyone wants to join the chapter or attend events get in touch with Carol Anne Douglas or Deb Friedman. Both are on Facebook.
