We meet every third Saturday of the month from 4 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. at Germantown Community Library, 1925 Exeter Rd, Germantown, TN. News - Latest Sat, 12 Jun 2004 11:54:06 +0100 http://www.wordcatchers.org/content/view/58/ We would like to thank Calvary Church (http://www.memphiscalvary.org/) of Cordova for their hospitality over the last couple of years. Calvary has allowed us to meet at their campus since the writers' group formed, and has always been a gracious host. As the group has grown, we feel the more central location of Germantown Library may better serve our ranks. Watch out though, Calvary, as we will likely come knocking on your door in November for National Novel Writing Month!
