READINGS:

BEVERLY STANISLAWSKI read her two page short story entitled, “Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear.”  This very cute children’s story told of a cross-eyed cub that saw two of everything, including his mother, sister and friends.  Feeling very unhappy one day because he felt his “two” sisters ate most of his food, he headed for the rushing waters where his mother always caught fish.  Suddenly realizing his sisters had followed him he turned in time to see his sisters fall into the river.  When he jumped in the water to save them he hit his head on a large bolder.  After passing out he awakened to find he had only one sister and one mother.

NANCY RITZ read her 14 stanza poem entitled “Cog.”  The poem told of Nancy being presented with a baby sister that she nicknamed “Cog,” believing that was the name her mother had told her when she said the baby had come from God. Though she was not very happy with her baby sister at first she later learned to love this sister and best friend.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 P.M.

Respectfully submitted:
