Buffalo Community Center Writer’s Group

Check out the current month’s writer’s contribution in the newsletter. The Buffalo Community Center Writer’s Group is a spirited group of adults who meet Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. The Community Center provides coffee and the group often brings treats to share. The writer’s group was started nearly 20 years ago with the help and guidance of author and St. Cloud State Professor Frank Kazemek. The group has a great time just telling stories and sharing. Several editions of written material have been published by the group and copies of these writings are available in our Library. Each week the group meets to discuss current writing projects, to learn new techniques and build their skills in story telling, poetry writing, and self discovery. This is an active social group, who make friends, share their experiences, and really have far too much fun in the process.
