I am looking forward to seeing you at our meeting next week, June 29th.
I'm sorry that Mark Childress won't be able to call in to entertain us with his stories. He was delightful when we met him at GFW in January.
Many thanks to Tracey and Committee for planning ML Malcolm's visit, sounds great.
Allison and committee will be planning Kathryn Casey's Visit in August.
Hope you all are enjoying your summer and reading a ton of good books!
