Treasurer Prem Bajaj noted our current balance of $6,960.27.
A list for members to provide refreshments is going around. In July, Connie White and Griz and Lynda Racobs will provide refreshments. We will try to keep you posted a month or two ahead on the refreshment schedules.

Diane Wahto mentioned that the deadline for Awards of Merit submissions is July 1, 2016.

We had a wonderful presentation by Ann Fell on using fiction techniques when writing memoirs. Her discussion included using old journals and letters to remember events and using dialogue to move the book forward. In addition, she diagrammed a story map and stressed the importance of using the perfect word to tell your story.
Members then had time to write a memory of their own. After a short break for refreshments, members read what they had written. Thank you, Ann, for a very interesting and fun afternoon.
Next meeting is July 9, at 1:30 PM at Larksfield Place dining room, (arrive early to chat, since we need a 2-hour meeting and must vacate the room by 3:30 PM. Our speaker will be Esther Luttrell. Hope to see you all then.
