On November 24, 2020 the club held the annual Winter Party by Zoom. For the first time ever, the party included a secret book exchange. Members gave a book from their shelf anonymously to another member and the gifts and givers were revealed during the Zoom call. This may be the start of a winter tradition.

The books, along with tea and cookies were delivered to member’s houses by couriers from the Executive. Many thanks to President Robin Stanford and all the Executive for making this happen seamlessly. Helen was a wizard at devising the exchange and the courier routes to minimize travel and keep anonymity up.

The Winter Party marks the end of CWLC meetings in 2020. We will resume in the spring of 2021 with the topic “Cultural Awareness/ Writers of Australia and New Zealand”. Greetings and best wishes to all CWLC members, their friends, their families, and other followers of this webpage, as 2020 – a year like no other -draws to a close.
