Writers' Group Please take our Writers' Group survey by 2/24!Great opportunity to share and improve your writings! CRPCA's Writers' Group is an eclectic bunch of people who have Peace Corps in common. Many have stories about time in the Peace Corps that just need to be told. What we do with these stories is really quite individualistic. Some just want to leave a legacy for their grandchildren and some use the Peace Corps experience as a jumping off point towards other work both fiction and non fiction.
 There are several published writers who wrote before and after their Peace Corps experience and who use this group as a friendly place to read their work out loud and see if it sounds right and to get valuable feedback. Although the original idea for our Writers' Group was to have a place where Returned Peace Corps Volunteers could write about their Peace Corps experiences, we've created a place where people can also just "prime the pump" of their creativity and write what pleases them.
 Along the way we've welcomed the participation of future PCVs and family members of RPCVs. We've discovered that there's a hunger for sharing writing samples that resides in nearly all writers. All writers or would-be writers who would appreciate the perspectives of Peace Corps writers are invited to attend our gatherings.
 Please check our Events page for the dates and locations of our Writers' Group gatherings, which occur one weeknight a month. The Writers' Group meets in members' homes; each regular participant is asked to take turns volunteering their place if possible. Our Writers' Group coordinator is Gabriella Maertens, writers@crpca.org or 503-254-5161.
