Meet and Greet event in Kogarah

On Wednesday 15th October, Carol Reynolds and Margaret Mahony from Illawong Haiku Group participated in a Meet and Greet event at the Clive James Library at Kogarah. The event was initiated by Vickey Foggin, Team Leader Library Programs at Georges River Council to highlight Rivers Writers, a liaison of writing groups operating within the Georges River region.

The event presented an opportunity to showcase haiku and the wider Japanese poetry genre as well as the Illawong Haiku Group. While the number of community members who came through the door was less than anticipated, we did record the details of several inquirers who requested further information. We were well looked after during the four hour event with lots of lovely
refreshments, and the camaraderie shared with library staff and fellow writers made the afternoon worthwhile. We hope this will become an annual event.
