July Recap

OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Wow, has it already been one whole year?

365 days is a long time, but in reality, it’s only been 12.

In just 12 days, we’ve created a community that comes together every month despite busy lives and personal obstacles to write, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company.

In just 12 days, we’ve made friends, memories, and mementos.

In just 12 days, we’ve grown the Creative Writing Club into what it is—and how wonderful it is, at that.

To celebrate our one-year anniversary, we teamed up with Michelle, owner of Study Bubble Stationery, to bring the studio and Salt Lake, our first-ever community-storytelling project: Stories of Salt Lake.

Guests took to a notebook with a pen and paper or typed away in their Notes app, telling a true story from their life. From broken bones and traveling to best days and childhood pets, each story was sealed with wax before being delivered to Little Libraries in Salt Lake, Sugarhouse, Murray, and Midvale.

Each envelope got its own little library, waiting for some lucky person in that area to come across it.

Guests got free stationery items and stickers from the Creative Writing Club, Study Bubble Stationery, and The Block, with complimentary food and birthday beignets gifted by Laziz Kitchen.

We’ll see you again in August, for our 13th club night.

Envelopes were distributed at random, but it was fun to see how often they matched their little library counterparts.

P.S, if you’re wondering where your envelope is, it’s in the red LL with no envelope in the photo. I was in a no-parking zone and stressed. Though, do not fret; your envelope is tucked inside safely.
