Karen talked about her book, The Cabooseman’s Garden, and how the 3rd graders in Griffith read her book as part of their local history segment in school. They also get to tour the museum. Members are interested in getting a tour of the Griffith Train Museum as well.
Alan is starting a poetry group at the senior center in
Michigan City in August. Class will be every Wednesday morning. He plans to
write and share more short stories at MHW meetings. He will start teaching a
comedy class before regular MHW meetings starting in July. Members decided we
should meet earlier, at 6pm, and plan to start the regular meeting a little
later, around 7pm. Alan then read "A Man to be Respected" and another memoir written in poetic form about his uncle that fixed his broken elephant figurine.
Pete read "Poem 171" which was influence by the poem "Casey at
the Bat" by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. In it, Casey’s descendants have the
opportunity to break the curse and bring honor back to the family name.
Patty reported that she won a free critique through SCBWI
then read "Chapter 6 - Laws Ruin my Life."
Next Meeting: July 18th at 6pm (Comedy Writing)
