This is the first of monthly posts for the Arizona Professional Writers from your President, Marie A. Fasano.

Barbara Lacy , blacy1@cox.net, Central Chapter Director and Jane Eppinga, jeppinga@q.com, Southern Chapter Director plan to start having meetings with their members. They are talking about first holding an informal get-together to see what members want to do.
