Benefits of being a PSI Affiliated Local Poetry Group member:
- We have re-designed and prepared our “Traveling Bookstore” for use at public gatherings, art festivals, and the like. We have issues of our organization “Ink to Paper”, membership forms, contest brochures, business/contact cards, and a PSI banner to display. If you have members offering to sell their own books, this could be a plus to the exhibit.
- We have sharpened how and where we communicate — mostly, the PSI Website, social media, snail mail, PSI Members Email, and events held via Zoom or face-to-face. Newsletters, forms, writing prompts, information about poetry festivals, book releases, what other poets around the state are doing, what is happening at the National level with NFSPS, and other bits of interest are now to be found all over.
- Your current meeting status: Zoom? Face-to-face? When? Where? How frequently?
- A contact person, or two, to whom we can send monthly updates and tidbits of information before your meeting that month. Is this the person who will be submitting your Local Society Report that is shared during the Fall Rendezvous and Spring Fling?
- Who in your group has recently published and how best can we advertise this momentous occasion?
- What poetry related events and art fairs are happening in your neck of the woods?
