Gleaning Facebook: Miss Jane at "A Time To Tell"

We have a great time each month on the first Monday at 6:30 at Rome's Library. We call the meeting "A Time To Tell". It is very informal. We strictly limit it to one hour. Yesterday we heard tales from Jane Owen Cunningham, John Paul Schulz, Mary Elena Rivera Kirk, and Buddy Autry. I snapped a few pictures during Jane's story.

Y'all put March 2 (correcting previous wrong date-- it's Leap Year!) on your calendar and come join us next time.

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.
