September Meeting

First of all - thanks to Vital Beet for hosting - you are awesome!
I am sorry I am running so behind - I was going to post poetry that was read and let you know about upcoming events but have been writing, doing jury duty, kids home for the weekend (the usualay life  every day craziness) - will add the poetry later.

Sherry has written a memoir, The Year My Mother Died. Her book signing was  October 21 from 4:30 to 8:00 at The Gallery on First Street NE (First Street runs alongside the DollarSaver shopper downtown )The food was wonderful and I thought it was a great turn out even with roads closed off in preparation for Pumpkin Festival - it was also great to see John!!

Paris Poets Society meets the last Thurs of the month, Oct 27, 7:00p.m. as usual. We are meeting at That Guys Coffee and we are trying to arrange to have a musician come in as well. She is a singer, songwriter and a personal friend of a local fellow poet, and so we are hoping to have a little poetry and a little song as well.

I hope to see you all there!
