Groups

The Sun is not affiliated with any group, nor do we provide guidance or oversight. This service exists for the convenience of Sun readers who'd like to meet with others in their communities to discuss the magazine. All contact with group leaders should be Sun-related. No soliciting. Thanks for your cooperation.

Oregon

Astoria

Matt Crichton

I know there are at least a few other Sun readers on the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast. I live in Astoria, OR, and would like to get together to discuss The Sun. I’m willing to travel a reasonable distance. Contact me if you are interested.

Corvallis

Sandra J. Blaine

I have seen Readers Write submissions from Corvallis, and at least one person in my neighborhood is a reader. I would love to get together monthly with other Sun readers.

Looking to form a local group for spirited discussion and sharing of food, art, and writing as desired. I have a warm, comfortable meeting space near downtown — let's make a home for The Sun in the rain!

Florence

Jamie Stevens

Trying to form a group. I live in Florence, Oregon—perhaps something virtual? Maybe streaming video-conference format? Skype? Poetry, prose... Cannonball Adderly said to me when I wasn't much more than a kid, "Hey man, I kinda like it all...as long as it's good...you know what I mean 'good'?" Dedicated to the writing process—I want more immersion, and a writing think tank just has a certain rhythm to it. Respond to jasatlaw@hotmail.com.

Phoenix

Al Muelhoefer

As a devoted reader and strong supporter of The Sun, I would like to share my feelings about the articles with fellow readers. If you have similar interests, please contact me so we can form a group to meet monthly and discuss the latest issue. As you know, the articles are provocative and easily prompt a lively conversation!

Portland

Alexander Johnson

The Portland Sun group meets on the last Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. We meet at coffee shops, at the Central Library, and in our homes. If you’d like to attend, please send an email to find out where we’ll be meeting next. We’d love to hear from you!

Salem

Jill Nishball

Join other Sun readers in the Salem or upper Willamette Valley area. We meet once a month, typically on the second or third Tuesday evening for two hours to discuss each issue. Sometimes we also do one fun, quick, shared writing experience to get our creative juices flowing, but discussion of the issue is the focus. We meet in a member's house, or we may meet in town and enjoy a snack or glass of wine together. There are currently about 8 of us attending on a regular basis and others come and go as they can. Living up to the Sun's creed, we are personal, political and provocative! Come join us...
