Dallas MWASW Meeting

First Saturday of each month
Texas Land & Cattle
812 South Central Expressway
Richardson, TX 75080

Next Meeting: February 4

Join us for our workshop: "C.S.I.—Setting the Record Straight." Senior Forensic Investigator James Rogers has worked thousands of crime scenes. He also teaches crime scene investigation techniques to his own and other law enforcement agencies. Popular knowledge of C.S.I. is wrought with inaccuracy. As a matter of personal and professional principle, he attempts to set the record straight whenever possible.

The Dallas MWASW group meets the first Saturday of each month at Texas Land & Cattle. The regular meeting time is 9:30-11:30 AM. There is a $5 door fee, cash only (fives and ones appreciated!). All who attend are invited to remain for a chance to network and eat lunch. For more information, contact Rebecca Russell at rebecca@rebeccarussell.com.

P.S. You do NOT have to be a MWA member to attend.

Something extra: Workshop following lunch: Writing 101
Time: 1-2 PM
Fee: $10.00
The focus of these workshops is the business end of writing; they also act as a fundraiser, since the instructor, our very own LaRee Bryant, has generously volunteered her time and experience.

LaRee is the author of 7 historical novels and 2 non-fiction books, and has recently finished the second book in a new cozy mystery series. She's been a writing teacher and professional editor for over 20 years and has served on the boards of several national and local writers' organizations, overseeing committees such as "Agents Standards of Practice" and "Published Authors Network."
