Please join us for a lively discussion between two comadres, Violeta Garza-- author of Brava-- and Carmen Calatayud-- author of This Tangled Body and In The Company of Spirits. Conversation topics will range from getting published, to building community among other writers, to being unapologetically yourself, to whatever comes up spontaneously in the moment. There will be a Q&A, and Violeta will be available afterwards to sign copies of her book. Copies of Brava will be available for sale.

Our October general meeting features GREGG ECKHARDT, Senior Analyst for the San Antonio Water System, who will talk about the storied HOT WELLS HOTEL AND SPA.

The Hot Wells Hotel and Spa has a long and storied history in San Antonio as a destination spot for locals and visitors to embrace hot and sulfurous water from the Edwards Aquifer. Gregg Eckhardt will draw from his large archive of rare and historic documents and images (1) to trace the history of the site from its opening in 1892 to its present incarnation (2) as a once-again spot for immersion in the unique and precious waters of our Aquifer.

Gregg Eckhardt is an environmental scientist with 37 years of experience in environmental modeling and analysis, water resource planning and development, state and federal permitting, and water treatment. He is known as The Nerd King of South Texas Water History and runs The Edwards Aquifer Website (3).

As Senior Analyst for the San Antonio Water System, he is also involved in the planning, operations, and management of the city's water supply and wastewater.
