Poetry Share & Connect

April 28, 2026 • 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
This is a FREE event!

Discover the joy of poetry in a warm, no-pressure environment with our new Monthly Poetry Sharing Circle, hosted by Owls Club volunteer and teacher Chuck Bower.

Whether you’re a lifelong poetry lover or simply curious, this gathering offers a welcoming space to listen, reflect, and share meaningful pieces. Participants are invited to bring 2–3 poems to read; these may be your own original work or favorites written by others.

The goal is simple: enjoy beautiful language, connect with fellow members, and experience the power of poetry together. No writing experience required… just a love of words and an open heart!
