Members Present: Jackie, Karen, Patty, Valia
Patty read the
first two chapters of The Iron Ladies. A few members suggested reworking the
beginning chapters so that a devastated Vienne is alone with Pippi struggling
with the news of what is to come. Patty plans to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo
again this year. The fun begins April 1st. https://campnanowrimo.org/.
Karen is working
on chapter 6 of Saving Ivy. She recently entered into a partnership with The
Military Order of the Purple Heart. They sent out a letter to members which
encourages them to purchase two The Medal
With A Heart books so they can donated one to their local library. Karen is
anxious to hear how many people ordered. She then discussed Purple Heart
Cities. Karen has another school visit scheduled in Boswell, IN.
Valia read “Facets
of Refugee Status” which is a series of three poems he wrote. He also suggested
members look into humanities grants available to Hoosiers. https://grantgopher.com/Indiana-Grants/Arts-Culture-and-Humanities

of Cataract Falls on March 22nd for the artist reception. Her

building for a year.
