Summer Northwest Writer’s Retreat!
 Join fiction writer/instructor Christine Dubois and me on Saturday, June 21,
for The Summer Northwest Writer’s Retreat, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the

farmstand and U-pick fields, and recharge your creative batteries. Kick
off a summer of writing with us!
 
Cost of the retreat is just $59 if you register by June 14, $69 after.
