HI HOPES was invented to fill a need for a Los Osos/San Luis Obispo, CA group that includes writers who generate stories, essays, novels, poetry. You get the picture: writers of any description. Whether or not you wish to publish, members will help you with ideas to improve your writing. Led by Sharon Sutliff, members meet on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 9 AM and usually wrap up in time for lunch. This groups meets in various locations. We currently have nine members and would welcome more. Contact Sharon Sutliff: 544-4034 or Audrey Yanes: 534-1919, and arrange to visit or get more information
