President's Message for February 2022
from Larry Porricelli
LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!
Hooray! Good News! The most often asked question we receive at SCWA is,
"When we will have a live meeting again?"
On March 19 SCWA will have its first live monthly meeting since the pandemic
began.
SCWA will be holding the March Monthly Meeting at the Joint Forces Training
Base in Los Alamitos, just off the 405 or the 605 Freeway. And what a perfect
site! The base is an active training facility with the US Army Airfield and Naval
Training. It houses a beautiful banquet hall where we will be having a brunch,
and it has the only active military pub in Orange County, Fiddler's Green!
And Green it shall be, as SCWA historically pays tribute to our Irish literary
heritage with a celebration of St. Patrick's Day, albeit two days later will be no
problem.
The base is cleaned and sanitized daily. Prevention is a government standard, so
we will be in the cleanest environment we can secure.
And of course, SCWA will feature a great speaker, whom we will announce at
our February Monthly Meeting on February 19. Maddie Margarita, SCWA Vice
President who engages our speakers by traveling the country listening for great
voices, will make that announcement of the speaker perfect for the moment.
We have come through the past year-and-a-half, and it will be so good to be
together in a secure place enjoying our love for writing, and more so, the
fellowship of each other's company.
We put fear behind us and step into the future. We have an exciting year
planned, and you, our members, are the reason for our effort.
We would especially like to thank longtime member, Kathy Porter, who helped
us secure the facility and the menu.
We shall have a grand time!
