Members receive our newsletter, membership directory and opportunities to participate in WIVLA shows, readings and events, plus a wealth of information and publicity available through our members-only Yahoo group. Of course, the best benefit of membership is the amazing women we get to know through our meetings and events.

Please join us as a guest one Tuesday evening; you'll be inspired by the creative energy and free- flowing exchange of information.
