The first reader was Bill Barrett, with another chapter in his thriller about the Soviet invasion of the US in 1987. The next reader was William Huntsman, who had an extremely intense poem. The third reader was Ken Magee, who had another essay about his experiences on Northwest Medical Team in El Salvador after an earthquake. The last reader was Shirley Leggett, who had three poems.
We adjourned at 8:50.

The first meeting of the Klamath Writers Guild for 2012 took place beginning at 6:30 pm on the 2nd. There were seven members attending, and one reader. Shirley Leggett read a poem.
We also had good discussions about membership, plans for writing for the coming year, and what to do with the extra printed newsletters from previous months. It was decided that donating them to the Klamath County Library for their free table was a good idea. Everyone seemed to have good ideas for their writing for the coming year, too.
Hope to see you all on the 23rd!

The second meeting of December started at 6:30 pm on the 19th. There were 6 members attending, and one reader. Ken Magee read a highly emotional remembrance, which was the subject of much discussion (then we adjourned for refreshments, including fresh snickerdoodles, which we all kind of needed by that point). Afterwards, William Huntsman shared what it was like to write so many Santa letters in such a short time of year. We then discussed the calendar, which is not what we really wanted it to be, but it is what it is.
