To read email Susan Killeen at skilleen8@gmail.com
Deadline is April 24th. Hopefully there will be time for everyone to read, but Members are prioritized. On your email, please supply a title and a brief description of your reading, i.e., “ ‘Watermeloncholy,' a comic memoir of a summer of ripe melons and teenage angst."
Please join us and, whether you come as a reader or listener, we’re sure you will enjoy the story telling!
