Basic Info

 

The Dallas Area Romance Authors meets on the fourth Saturday of each month, January to October. An annual holiday celebration is held the first Saturday of December. (No meeting in November.)

​

DARA is meeting online via Zoom until further notice. We have been fortunate to meet in person with a virtual option a few times in the last few years -- for our annual holiday celebration.

​

DARA's policy for guest has changed. Non-members are invited to attend our meetings for a $5.00 attendance fee. The fee includes the speaker recording. You are required to register for the meeting. Go back to the landing page and click the button to register.

​

Meetings begin with a half-hour social time at 9 am, followed by a short business meeting at 9:30 which includes a Flower Presentation for our authors who have published that month. Our speaker usually begins about 10 am and talks for about 60-90 minutes. Feel free to log in when you're ready. All times listed are Central Time.

​

In-Person Meetings

​

We are working to find a new location for our in-person meetings that can also allow for virtual attendance via Zoom.
