Join Judy Reeves and Robb Donaldson for a New Year’s Eve celebration of fun and literary games as we write our way into 2026. We’ll delve into New Year’s traditions and legends (maybe create some of our own), write to prompts, and generally have a good time. Together we’ll count down the minutes til midnight and welcome the New Year with toasts and cheers. There will be treats, and you’re welcome to bring goodies (and libations) to share. Judy is a writer and teacher whose books include A Writer’s Book of Days, named “Best Nonfiction” by the San Diego Book Awards; Writing Alone, Writing Together; A Creative Writer’s Kit; The Writer’s Retreat Kit and, most recently, Wild Women, Wild Voices. Her fiction, nonfiction, and poetry has appeared in the San Diego Reader; The Frozen Moment; A Year in Ink; Connotations Press; Serving House Journal; Waymark; Expressive Writing, Classroom and Community, and other journals and anthologies. Two plays, written with a women’s writing ensemble, were produced by the Fritz Theater. She’s also served as editor for several journals and chapbooks, including three editions of A Year in Ink. She has been leading community-based writing practice groups for thirty years and teaches at writing conferences internationally and at San Diego Writers, Ink, a nonprofit literary center she cofounded. Her memoir, When Your Heart Says Go, was released in October 2023. Judy’s website is judyreeveswriter.com. Robert is a licensed psychotherapist and writer from San Diego, California with certificates in Memoir Writing from both Pacifica Graduate Institute and San Diego Writers, Ink, and a certificate in Fiction Writing from Gotham Writers Workshop.

Hundreds of people will rally to support people living with ALS at the 2025 Walk To Defeat ALS San Diego on October 5 at the Mission Bay - De Anza Cove. Registration for the 2025 Walk to Defeat ALS is now open. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS robs people of the ability to walk, talk and eventually breathe. Through an extensive network, the ALS Association is on the ground in all 50 states providing support for people living with ALS and their loved ones by ensuring they have access to critical care programs and services. Walk to Defeat ALS is the world’s largest signature event focused on supporting people living with ALS and their families. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the annual Walk to Defeat ALS. Through Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising efforts, the ALS Association has been able to dramatically accelerate the fight against ALS by funding the development of new ALS treatments, by discovering new ALS genes, by creating new global research collaborations, and by significantly expanding access to ALS care. Walk to Defeat ALS events are more than fundraisers - it's a movement that unites the community in support of those affected by ALS. Many who participate have a loved one battling ALS while others participate in memory of a loved one who has lost their fight. Some participate simply because they want to make ALS a livable disease for everyone, everywhere while we tirelessly search for a cure. The 2025 Walk to Defeat ALS is supported by our dedicated national sponsors including Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Numotion Foundation and Permobil Foundation. Their unwavering commitment fuels our mission to make ALS livable and cure it.
