30 OCTOBER MEETING NOTES

A cozy four people attended: Jo, Lance (a chapter from Bluejay’s Riviera), Leighanne, and Rosie.

NEWS & NOTES

We’re approaching the end of the year, which means our meeting schedule gets weird. We’ll have some decisions to make next meeting.

• There will be no 27 Nov meeting because we’ll be murdering turkeys.
• 4 Dec will be the first (and perhaps last) meeting in December.
• Should 11 Dec be a meeting or the Holiday Party? If it’s a meeting, when does the Holiday Party happen (or does it)?
• Where should the Holiday Party be? We have a nomination for BJs Grill and Bar in the Tustin Marketplace. Any other ideas?
• The first meeting of 2026 will be on 8 Jan.

Upcoming author events for the next week:

• Saturday, Nov. 1, 2 p.m.: Daryl Wood Gerber, Murder by the Millions; Kim Davis, Essentials of Murder (in person at Book Carnival)
• Sunday, Nov. 2, 2 p.m.: Dennis Palumbo, “Writing Through the Hard Times” (in person for Sisters in Crime L.A. at the Radford Studio Center, Studio City)
• Tuesday, Nov. 4, 6 p.m.: Priya Krishna, Indian-ish (in person at the Crown Valley Community Center, 29751 Crown Valley Pkwy, Laguna Niguel)
• Wednesday, Nov. 5, 6:30 p.m.: David Rosenfelt, Dogged Pursuit (in person at the Clifton C. Miller Community Center, 300 Centennial Way, Tustin)
