Can't make our local VOICES readings? Here's a ZOOM reading for everyone!

Saturday, July 19th, at 3:00 EST. We are asking everyone to arrive 10 minutes early for preliminaries and to start on time. The amount of time we have to read will depend entirely on the number of attendees, which is another reason to arrive 10 minutes early.
