Each month, a “speakeasy” is held, with lively topics and conversation. March’s speakeasy topic will be “Take the 30-Day Challenge.” What is the 30-Day Challenge? Special guest Mark Cutts will explain this in a short talk, and then challenge everyone to try something new for 30 days. For example, how would you write a 50,000 word novel in a month? It’s possible, by writing 1,667 words every day for 30 days. Following the talk there will be open discussion, and those who are interested can decide on their own 30 day challenge. “It will change your life,” said Cutts. FRAA’s Art Center is at 4969 Munsel Lake Plaza No. 4 on Highway 101, just north of Fred Meyer. Admission to the March speakeasy is free, no prior reservations are needed, and refreshments will be served.
