On the second and fourth Mondays of each month, this event provides an opportunity for local authors and others who enjoy good writing to discuss writing of all types (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, dramatic scripts, graphic novels, etc.) Members will have the opportunity to share their writing and exchange useful feedback. Possible discussion may also include ideas related to publishing written work.
Learn to create beautiful, delicate, raised images from paper strips. You’ll use a few basic tools to wind the paper strips into coils to create a note card. All levels are welcome.
Supplies will be provided.
Technology can be challenging, so join our enthusiastic BH Tech Team, who will give you a good foundation and the confidence to use your preferred devices (e.g phone, laptop, e-reader) .

Our BH Tech group will be available to assist you with basic tech questions, as well as point you in the right direction for topics we do not handle.
Here are a few examples of the topics we do not cover:
- Diagnosis and Repair of Devices
- Online banking or shopping-related transactions.
