Dear Friends,
Dinner with the Mesa Refuge residents is a wonderful experience, filled with lively conversations about current work and other topics of shared interest. I invite you to join us as we expand our kitchen table conversation to Saltwater Oyster Depot. Join some neighbors who are Mesa Refuge alums as well as those currently in residence. Proceeds benefit the Mesa Refuge, so that we can continue to provide time and space for writers working on the most challenging issues of our time.
