POETRY READING

VERBAL MOONSHINE GRAND FINALE!

 After over 10 years of heading up our monthly poetry readings and forum, Phyllis Mayfield is calling it quits!  Our loss, but Phyllis is moving on and working seriously on her memoirs.

 

FRIDAY, MARCH 21, Starting at 7 p.m., you are all invited to the Finale Bash.

Bring something to share, both food and the written word (if you dare!)

 

For over 10 years, Phyllis Mayfield has brought to our Art Center, our community, her love of poetic expression.

She gathered together a host of kindred creative spirits once a month for “Verbal Moonshine”, providing opportunities for one and all to express their views, open their hearts and souls, and share.

We invite you to join us in thanking Phyllis at the Verbal Moonshine Grand Finale, Friday evening, March 21 at 7 p.m.

There will be the usual (and unusual) readings, perhaps music (voices raised in praise).

Please bring some finger food to share, a written word to speak, a story to tell.

And something to add to Phyllis’s  Keepsake Book.

 

We thank Phyllis and wish her all the best in her future creative endeavors.  She is truly a woman of her word.
