Eden Mills Writers' Festival Collage and Poetry Making Event

Hello Arts Appreciators,

I’m not sure if you saw my previous message in August about the Collage and Poetry Making Workshop in Eden Mills this Saturday September 19, 2026. Unfortunately the event is full. Hopefully I will be better at scheduling this outing for next year, so those who’d like to attend will get a spot. Stay tuned for upcoming…

Sherri Keller changed the description of the group Book Exchange from "The Book Exchange Group gives members the opportunity to read recently published books that are not yet readily available in libraries or as paperbacks. At a meeting at the end of September, interested members begin to select the books. Other members can make suggestions. We are looking for good reads that most members will find interesting. Each member contributes around $30, depending on the cost of the books. She reads one of the 8 to 10 books, every month, depending on the number of members. She keeps the last book she receives. Each member has her first book by November 1. New members are always welcome! For more information contact: Val, Deb or Andrea at valmarshall1@gmail.com, deborah.harasym@gmail.com or andrea.battista50@gmail.com" to "The Book Exchange Group gives members the opportunity to read recently published books that are not yet readily available in libraries or as paperbacks. At a meeting at the end of September, members suggest a book they are interested in reading and that they think other members will find interesting.

Sherri Keller changed the description of the group Mystery Book Club from "The Mystery Book Club meets on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of each month. We spend about half an hour socializing over coffee/tea and dessert and the rest of the time discussing the book. Each member chooses the book she would like to present. Each of us has our own method of presenting: most will talk a little about the author's background, give us some idea of what the critics thought of the book, and go on to discuss main literary features of the book, the historical background or the issues that arise from the book; but the emphasis is always on getting everyone involved in the discussions and that is the most important role of the facilitator. We try to review books that are in paperback, more current / readily available in local libraries as an e-book or in hard copy - but that's not always the case, and no genre is excluded. New members would be most welcome. Come join us. For more information contact: linda17hall@gmail.com " to "The Mystery Book Club meets on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of each month.
