March 14 event at Alan Chadwick Garden

Dear all,
The first community event tied in with this writing project will be held on March 14 at the Alan Chadwick Garden on the UC Santa Cruz Campus. Things kick off at 3pm and should run until about 5:30pm. As per usual, I invite all comers to join me for a delicious happy hour pint at the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery after the event.

The afternoon will consist of a few short readings from the early stages of the writing project, as well as a bit of poetry from some friends. Then I will give an outline of the writing/teaching project, its themes and purpose. There will be some interactive discussions as well, all set in the rustic loveliness of the Chadwick garden. If rain is in the forecast, I will contact you all with an alternate venue.

For directions, type in "McLaughlin Dr & Hagar Dr Santa Cruz, CA 95064" on google maps. From Hagar Rd., take a right on McLaughlin. Then take your first left up the hill to Merrill College. Immediately on your right, there will be a narrow driveway that says University vehicles only -- the garden is down that driveway to the right. For parking, however, continue up the hill to the Merrill College parking lot.

I look forward to seeing some of you on the 14th. If you haven't already, please RSVP so I can get a sense of how many people to prepare for. If you would like to bring simple snacks or a bottle of wine, that is most welcome.

All the best,
Chad
