Members Present: Bernardo, Jackie, Joan, Judy, Luneil, Pam, Suzy
Guest: Andrew Von Thaden
Suzy just remembered she is published! She wrote a journal
article in the 90’s on Special Education and Computers. Jackie reminded Suzy
that all the work she did at Purdue was also published, she just didn’t get
credit. Suzy will work on a bio for the blog.
Jackie has some photos and poems in a book that is now on
Amazon. Naturally Yours is a
collection of poems and short stories about Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs.
Proceeds are donated to Indiana Natural Resources Foundation's
"Discovering The Outdoors" fund to enable school children to visit
state parks to learn about nature and wildlife. Jackie talked to Joan about
selling some books at The Center of Performing Arts in Munster since Joan has
her book in the gift shop.
Jackie finally posted Bernardo’s bio and reminded members to
send her any updates. Jackie brought in an old Family Flyer and some book
drafts as well as a few made on Snapfish and Shutterfly to have concrete
examples to show to our newer members and guests. Judy will bring some of her illustrated
books to the next meeting.
Bernardo has been working on a newsletter for his unit
entitled News from the Cobra Nest. It
offers drills, support, and job leads among other things. He then read Memory Lane, a Christmas poem about
gifts under the aluminum tree.
Nancy from Chapel Lawn talked about her daughter who wrote
The House of Pendragon. Debra Kemp has
been a member of Indiana Writers’ Consortium in the past. Her book is available

Luneil read The Day I
Slugged Santa, also (unfortunately ;) a true story.
Andrew read Oscar Makes a Friend, a picture board book
geared at children age 0-2. He included rough illustrations to give us a visual
of his idea. He then read Rainbow Canyon.
This book is for older children but still features Oscar the Turtle as the main
character.
Judy read Why do I
write? which was a blog entry for the Indiana Writers’ Consortium. Judy
will print out the cookbook and bring it to the next meeting. She will also
make MHW business cards for each member. Please email the personal information
you would like her to include on the back side of your cards.
