​​​​​2024 Programs:​

September 26, 2024, 7 pm,   D Grant Smith will present: How to Showcase the Gold Inside Your Stories.

D is a storysmith and superman of storytelling. He describes himself as a maestro of motivation, a wizard of wisdom, and a superhero who helps us see the superpowers and amazing person inside of us. He is able to convey deep life lessons found inside regular everyday experiences to help us understand ourselves more clearly. He sees and calls out the best in people.

He wants to help transform people's self-concept to bring abundance, peace, confidence, happiness and success into lives and relationships.  He has also written a book to help with that.  Come enjoy the time with us!

October 24, 2024, 7 pm - In the Beginning:  How to

Start What Others Finish!

NANCY ROBINSON MASTERS will tell you the good news is anyone with basic literacy skills, a pencil, and a Big Chief tablet can write a book! However, if you want to write a book that others will want to read from beginning to end and even be willing to purchase, there are some basic rules and tools writers need to know and use. Nancy will take writers for a "behind the scenes, before the shelves" focus for what writers today should do in the beginning to produce a successful product (book = product, not your child).

You may be surprised to discover that writing a book others will read to the end actually begins before you write the first word!  Whether you have a completed manuscript, an idea you have always wanted to write a book about, or anything in between, you will be able to use the information presented!

Nancy is the author of more than 30 books.  Her articles, stories, poems, and other pieces of writing as a freelance author have appeared in publications around the world. 

November 21, 2024, 7 pm   (NOTE: 3rd Thursday!!)

Join us as members read things they have written. It is always amazing to hear the passion, excitement, joy and sometimes trepidation in people's voices as they read their own stories or poems!  If you are not a member but have written a short piece, bring it.  We'll make time for you to try it out.  (limit: 3 minutes per read)
