O.C. Writers member Barb DeLong generally arrives around 8 a.m. and leads a breakout discussion at 11 a.m. for those who want to take a break.

JULY 28: Join us for some friendly company and writerly conversation at the O.C. Writers’ Monthly Lunch, hosted by Amy Gettinger. We usually meet at the outside tables, depending on the weather. Lunch is on your own–you can buy from the businesses around or bring something. We’ll talk about books and stuff, enjoy the sunshine, and get to know one another! RSVPs are encouraged. https://www.facebook.com/events/2037756579904123.
