Frank Bette Second Saturday Poetry and Prose

03/10/2020

March 14th's 2nd Saturday is cancelled.

Out of an abundance of caution, due to the coronavirus outbreak I am cancelling the March 14th Frank Bette 2nd Saturday reading. I will keep you posted on the April reading as things develop.

Sorry I didn't notify everyone sooner, but I was waiting for the situation to clarify. Both the San Francisco and Santa Clara health authorities have recommended that, if possible, people avoid public gatherings. I expect that Alameda County will be soon be announcing the same.

Stay safe and healthy, people!

Best regards,
—Wulf

Jeanne Lupton has been hosting this Second Saturday open mic for 13 years — now she wants to move on to other things — so come on down tonight to wish her well! She'll be the intro feature, and I'll be doing the outro. Doors open at 7pm. See you then!
