Schmooze Info from Livna Genchel.
It was a very beautiful and warm summer night in La Jolla when we had our Illustrator Schmooze in August (see picture.) Nice to see all the creatives step out for some tacos and a drink!
Hello Illustrators,
Due to unforeseen circumstances we couldn’t plan an in-person schmooze this month but Lisa will host an online Zoom schmooze from 7-8:30pm on November 16th. Anyone who wants to attend should RSVP to schmooze.sandiego.scbwi@gmail.com and she will send the Zoom link 10 min before the meeting.
We've opened up a whatsapp group, here is the link to join:
