Members Present: Helena, Jackie, Judy, Karen, Luneil, Patty, Ruthann, Valia
Members met for lunch at Wicker Park. Luneil gave Jackie
a crystal “Making a Difference” plaque from MHW which commemorates the past eleven
years. Members also had a cake for Luneil who will be moving to a different
state in August.
Helena brought in two books she created. She began
writing the first one in 2017, which tells the story of her ancestors. She began
the second one, about her father, in 2018. Both are written in Chinese and include
old family photographs. Now Helena is working on her mother’s book.
Valia spent a lot of time at Wicker Park during the
lockdown. His days walking the paths inspired many poems, a couple of which he
shared with the group. Glove on a Fence was published in Nightingale
& Sparrow literary magazine https://nightingaleandsparrow.com/glove-on-a-fence/.
Fate of Granite gave us all a little chuckle.
Judy and Luneil read their third version of
the introduction of Lottie Nora and Ryleigh Emma. Lottie Nora is more
than happy to show Ryleigh Emma around the school on the first day and
introduces her to several students and staff members. Ryleigh Emma is thrilled she
already has a new friend and a new mystery to solve.
Patty brought in two versions of her query and synopses
of The Iron Ladies. Members made a few suggestions. Patty plans to submit to
several publishing companies this fall.
Next Zoom Meeting: Wednesday, August 11 at 6:30.
