OUR MEETING DAY HAS CHANGED:
The Mid-Willamette Valley RWA® chapter meets the first Thursday of each month (except for a holiday break in December) at the Salem Public Library, Central Branch, in the administrative conference room on the mezzanine level. The small size of our chapter allows members to have a direct voice in meeting topics, speakers, conferences, and special events.
Membership dues are $25 per year, renewable in October. You must also be a member of the national Romance Writers of America®, which provides networking opportunities with 144 RWA® chapters worldwide. We welcome new members!
For more information and how to join, please email the chapter at mwvrwa@gmail.com.
