A 2-hour Mini-retreat for Writers, with Cookies and Discussion May 8th @ 7:00 p.m. The Arden Writers Gild strives to change and improve our community by exploring the gifts of literature. We find both unity and diversity by sharing the knowledge, intelligence and humor of past and contemporary writers. Our Guild expands our ability to integrate the world of the written word into our lives and our community. We encourage all ages to find the pleasures of reading, the enjoyment of the spoken word and the growth of perspectives which the written word affords. Our youth are the future thinkers, the past serves as their roadmap; current readers, writers and poets carry the message. *We invite all ages from 6 to 96; exceptions may be made if you bring a note from your parents.* We encourage young writers/poets and everyone to attend! Bring original writings for sharing or just bring yourself. Come early… cookies are warm upon arrival and go quickly. Pony rides and hot-air balloon rides will resume as weather permits.
Evening with the Author: Arden Library Series
Fay Hoh Yin Saturday, May 12th @ 7:30 Arden Gild Hall
A biologist at DuPont for 26 years, Ms. Yin will describe her Chinese family's trials over three generations, and sign copies her book for those in the audience. Yin narrates the trials of her family at the end of the Chinese empire, and the challenges facing every-day people. Born in Beijing in 1932 and unsettled by the World War II effects on her family, they fled the route on the map, settling in Taiwan in 1949. Yin then came to America for college, as had her father before her. All are welcome. This is not a fee to attend, but donations would be much appreciated.
