Gleaning Facebook: A Time to Tell

 Y'all put the date on your calendars for our next "A Time To Tell".

We had a great time today:

• Sara Beth Abernathy our 2018 champion YoungTales storyteller told her winning story about a kamikaze bird.

• John Paul Schulz told a great reminiscence about a wardrobe malfunction turned red badge that became a fad.

• Mary Elena Rivera Kirk regaled us with one of her wonderful native stories from Puerto Rico.

• Delmas Franklin gave a uplifting account of a very determined woman who ministered to orphans in Chattanooga, and someone in 2018 who owes much to that "angel".

• Bob (Beverly M. Harris) Harris told about the way stories helped him through the pain of childhood treatents for hemophilia and told one about Winnie and Eyore.

John Paul Schulz: All of the stories last night were so good that I had to tell about them at the dinner table after the meeting.

Gleaning Facebook: YoungTales Summer Show

 We had a great time with two outstanding student storytellers this morning. We had an enthusiastic room of kids from preschool through eighth grade and adults. Our storytellers included:

• Terrell Shaw (ta-dah!), There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly!

• Jane Owen Cunningham who had trouble with that bubblegum!

• Michael Rios, West End Elementary with his hilarious tale of sugar and salt.

• Mary Elena Rivera Kirk who dressed a pig for church!

• Courtney Hutcherson, Armuchee Middle who could NOT keep those ducks out of the garage!

• Gary Greene who remembers Superman and Mister Mxyzptlk.

• and Mary Elena Rivera Kirk, again, who gave us a story to take home with us.

Thanks to everyone who told, everyone who came to listen, and to everyone who helped spread the word to get us a good audience!

One more show! Monday July 17! Keep spreading the word.
