SUMMARY:Writers Read featuring Richard Michelson\, Cherryl Jensen\, and Ali
 ce Barrett
DESCRIPTION:Writers Read is a monthly opportunity for an audience to come a
 nd listen to local writers in an intimate environment. Each second Wednesd
 ay of the month\, three writers read from their work followed by time for 
 the audience to join with the writers for a talkback. These discussions ha
 ve been eye opening\, touching\, and inspiring. Audiences have left the ve
 nue ready to write.\n\nThis series is facilitated by Lindy Whiton\, a memb
 er of LAVA\, and pulls from several different communities of writers throu
 ghout the local area. We are extremely lucky to draw from an abundance of 
 talent. The year’s calendar does bring in a few outside writers who agre
 ed to travel. Watch this event future readers.\n\n$5 suggested donation ($
