All Stroll of Poets members are cordially invited to attend an online annual general meeting on Sunday, March 20. Registration will start at 1:30 with business beginning at 2 pm. Just a reminder that your current membership expires on that day.

Any questions may be directed to strollquestions@gmail.com We hope that you’ll be able to join us.

Topic: Stroll Annual General Meeting
Time: Mar 20, 2022 01:30 PM Edmonton

Meeting Zoom link and meeting passcode will be distributed in the Stroll’s weekly newsletter.

April is National Poetry Writing Month – the perfect time to read poetry and write! 30/30 is a personal challenge to write 30 poems (however unfinished they may be) in 30 days. It takes you out of your comfort zone, gets your creative juices flowing, and it is fun – especially when doing it with others!

Join in by emailing Trudy Grienauer at ppnindo@gmail.com.

The Stroll has come together for 30/30 since 2017, and as we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year it will be a great opportunity to share poetry and support each other in trying to write every day. The group will use daily prompts and guidance from various resources on the web. These are optional of course – you can write about anything you want! Poems will be shared among the group via Google docs (only accessible to those who sign up).

PS: If you have already responded for a 30/30 volunteer role, you don’t have to sign up again.
