The Potranco Writers Group meets the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. We are a group of active writers (poets, fiction writers, memoirists, screenplay writers) sharing our work for support and constructive feedback. Non-writers are welcome to attend, as the "writing virus" will soon infect them as well.

Dreaded Threads
Calling all crocheters, knitters, stitchers, embroiderers or threaders out there! We invite you to join us for our weekly program where you can bring your project from home and thread with friends.
Wondering why we added “dreaded” to our program name? Well, it’s not because we’re going to make this an awfully confusing experience, so don’t fear! At each program, we’re going to listen to a true crime podcast to get our true crime fix!
