In this post-pandemic time,  we are testing hybrid (in-person and Zoom)
meetings.  In-person attendance is for members.
Our in-person meetings are open to visitors who request a seat in advance, or request a Zoom link, for a specific month. Make a request at info@calwriterslongbeach.org by the first of the month  of the second Saturday monthly program you wish to attend in person or on Zoom.
(Seating is limited. First come, first served.)
.

   

All members, and visitors by request (as stated above), will receive a Zoom link by email

for specific monthly meetings. 

Many of our speakers also invite followers via Zoom on their social media.
