AUGUST 25, 2022

MEMBERS PRESENT:

Sharon Buckman, Kathy Flotz, Al Koch, Amy Brailey, Bob Neuman, Judy Neuman, Ruthann Graczyk, Cindy Horgash

OLD BUSINESS:

The minutes for the August 11, 2022 meeting were read and approved by JUDY NEUMAN and BOB NEUMAN.

NEW BUSINESS:

A discussion as to whether we would be able to have the November 10th meeting at the Crown Point library was brought up by Kathy Flotz.  It was decided that she would call them and report back to the members at the next meeting.

 

LITERARY NEWS:

AMY BRAILEY’S newest novel, Behind the Veil, Sequel 2 will be close to being finished, hopefully, in November.

READINGS:

SHARON BUCKMAN read her one page poem, “No One Was There.”  The poem, written six years ago shortly after her special needs daughter, Cindy, had died.  The poem told of her recorder starting to play, on its own, the one religious song Cindy had always loved.

KATHY FLOTZ read her short story, “Coincidence or the Hand of God,” a story of love and friendship.  Sadly, Alzheimer took over Steve’s mind and he forgot everything he loved to do.  God interfered and took him home.

AL KOCH read his delightful short story entitled, “The Procedure,” a good opportunity and light-hearted way to have a procedure day at the “orfice!”

AMY BRAILEY read her two page short story, “Jarold MacNeil and the Case of the  Vanishing Art.”  A private investigator gets a surprise due to a case in a restaurant menu.

BOB NEUMAN read his short story entitled, “Saint Veronica,” his take on receiving help at a self-serve kiosk at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

JUDY NEUMAN read her two page short story entitled, “Tornado Dan.” A tribute to a long-time friend with ALS.  Dan had been a fervent follower of Jesus Christ and was an encouragement to so many people.

CINDY HORGASH continued with her story, Chapter 2, “A Journey Made of Stuffing,” a story of a scarecrow’s inspiring journey with the help of his animal friends.  He learns life’s ultimate gift is one worth sharing.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

SHARON BUCKMAN
