SUMMARY:Words in the Burbs Farewell Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Hi friends! As many of you know\, we announced recently that the time had come to say goodbye. Some folks have asked if this is the end-end-for-sure-for-sure-end … the truth is\, we don’t know! We have some ideas and possibilities brewing in our heads for WIB in the future – possible evolutions or new creations. But what we DO know is that the time has come to say goodbye to the reading series as it has existed for the last eight years  \nSo\, we hope you’ll join us to come say goodbye. We’re not totally sure what our final gathering will look like but we plan to have cake. Save the date for March 31\, at 6:30 pm. (Note: we usually start at 7 pm – this is an EARLIER START TIME!) \n(If you’re on the North Shore: did you know that a WIB: North Shore edition started up last fall? They’ll be having another reading this spring. I’m sure we’ll post details when the time comes!)
