September 2026

Join us on Saturday, September 19th, 2026, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. As usual, we will meet at the Devonshire Senior Center​​, 2802 E. Devonshire Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, to connect and catch up on club activities.

One of the most common discussions we have at PWC is around intellectual property issues for our writing, especially during our AI discussion in May. That is why we have asked Maria Crimi Speth to come and speak with us.
