Linda --

Let me add my thanks for the database. I've put my info in.

Sherry

Thanks, Linda, that should come in handy!  Everything is members only except
the messages which can be read by anyone.  The calendar, database, files,
photos, etc. are available for all members to add information.  So, everyone
feel free to add any thing pertinent to the appropriate area.


Peace
Mark

I just created a simple data base of members, phone numbers,
addresses, etc.   I put my phone number and address in for anyone who
wants to come Saturday night and needs directions.

I am in Crescent Hill, off Frankfort.  Bayly is the street where Just
Creations is on one corner and the new Carmichael's is on the other.

Mark, is the database accessible to anyone or just members??

Linda

Like Sherry, I assume everyone knows me!  Yes, the human ego never
ceases to think too much of itself!!  I've been A GRW member since
1986/7???  I can't quite remember the exact time, but I was in a
graduate Creative writing class and the late/great Leon Driskell
suggested that GRW and I belonged together.  Little did he know how
much.

In 1991, I left the fold and moved to Dallas, Texas where the rivers
of poetry ran pretty dry.  After two years of exile, I returned to my
GRW roots and have been here (pretty much) ever since. Email me for
directions...

On occasion, I get overbusy and miss meetings, but I won't miss this
month's meeting because it is being held at my house.

I am Linda Frith,
aka ButterflyMeg,
aka Meg,
aka Mom,
aka Nana,
aka Graduate Student,
aka counselor,
aka GRW Board member.

Occasionally I write poetry, but not so much lately because I am
writing practice papers and practicum objectives and research
proposals which has a tendency to cause repression of poetic
tendencies.

I'm a mother of six (my most excellent passion and devotion), a
grandmother of nine (can one have TWO most excellent passions?), a
keeper of three dogs (or do they keep me?), a lover of butterflies,
and a Kent School of Social Work graduate student in my second year,
vice president of Communications for the Kent School Student
Activities Association, and a counselor at the Morton Center (a non-
profit counseling center).

I hope to see many of you Saturday night around 6 pm in Crescent Hill
for a lovely night of poetry, fellowship, fun and food.

Come early, stay late.  But bring POETRY to read, even if it's not
your own.

Linda

Ernie and I are trying to identify who is and isn't on the list, but with
yahooIDs, that's not easy.  So, could those without obvious yahooIDs sent me
brillig01@...  an email with your real name and the ID that
belongs to it?

Hi Everyone

Thanks, Sherry, for kicking things off.  I've set the group calendar to send
out reminders for the poetry meeting  a week before and then the day before.
You didn't get one Saturday because that was the day I added the events, but
next month you should.  Thanks, Jerry, for adding the next couple of prose
meetings to the calender, and Terri, for adding the retreat.

Ernie and I are trying to identify who is and isn't on the list, but with
yahooIDs, that's not easy.  So, could those without obvious yahooIDs sent me

Fellow GRW members --

I have just been operating under the assumption that everybody knows
who I am -- oh the ego! -- because it seems to me that I've been a
GRW member forever. The fit was easy and natural. But in fact when I
calculate I think it's only since about 99 (so last century) and I
know some of you go much further back with GRW than that. To you, I'm
a newbie.

So here I am -- Sherry Chandler, poet, with apologies for the Yahoo
moniker. Who would know that there are dozens of other Sherry
Chandlers out there in the world and this was the best I could come
up with at the time to avoid being sherrychandler53 or something. I
have a geocities website, painfully out of date, here:
http://www.geocities.com/sherrychandlerpoet

That will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about me.
Probably the poems I have posted and will post here will tell you the
rest.

Pax --

Sherry

Okay --

I'm going to start this ball rolling. I've uploaded a couple of poems
for Saturday night to the Files for poetry. I invite others to join
me.

Sherry

I received an email from the website (I think it was you, Star),
requesting that we accept online payments for things like
memberships, retreats and so on.

I am currently pursuing adding this to the site and am planning to
present the information to the board at the January meeting
regarding costs,upkeep and so on.  If any of you have an opinion on
the matter, I'd love to hear from you!  You can post your comments
here or if you prefer you can email me at
webmaster@....

Thanks!
Terri

Star,

I have dogs, they are short-haired chihuahuas and chihuahua mixes.  I
leave them in their cages when I have company.

You aren't being rude.  I have allergies, too.  I'm not allergic to
them.

Linda

Thank you very much!  I'll try to make it.  Do you have cats or
dogs?  I hate to be rude but I'm allergic.  I can come anyways and
stay a while and leave when it gets too bad.

I really will try to make it.  It would be great to be with the
poets again.

Star

Welcome!

Hello everyone,

Thought I'd introduce myself a bit since I just joined this
group....altho I have been a member of GRW since March when I attended
the Novels in Progress workshop. My schedule has kept me from
attending any of the meetings until this past Sunday's Prose meeting.
It was nice to meet new people.

I am a native Louisvillian. (Seneca graduate for those other natives
who always ask each other the infamous 'where did you go to high
school' question.)  I said to myself for years that I would write a
novel some day. But I ony began writing fiction last year when I
turned 40 and wondered to myself when SOME DAY might begin!  : )

Looking forward too knowing you all,
Jackie Selby

Hello Joseph

I would like to invite you to the next meeting of the prose group. 
That meeting will be held at Derby Lanes on September 14 from 2:30
until 5:30.  Derby Lanes is at 7707 Beulah Church Road about a mile
North of the Gene Snyder.  Beulah Church Road is about 6 miles East
of I-65.  The usual format is for writers to read some of their work
and the rest provides a critique.  Even if you don't have anything
you wish to read, please come and and meet us.  I believe, that
regardless of your skill level, Green River Writers should be of help.

Hope to see you on the 14th.

Thanks, Linda.

Does anybody have Rae's e-mail?

Hello Joseph --

Green River Writers offers a lot of help for writers at whatever stage
they're in and I feel sure we'd have something to offer you.

This e-mail group is a brand-new venture for us -- Thanks to Mark
Brown -- and I'm not sure how active we'll be on line for a while.

Maybe best to begin by going to our web page:
http://www.greenriverwriters.org/   You can look there and see what
kind of events we have upcoming, read issues of our newsletter, etc.

Good luck to you.

Sherry Chandler

HI Folks!
Thanks for the invite, Mark. Hello to those I do know. This is a good
idea for getting quick help on a problem poem. Catch y'all, later.

Hugs,
Barb

I am a writer with a B.A. in Sociology, two years removed from
graduation at WKU. I have not yet been published professionally. but
would like to hook up with a writers groups to improve my skills and
become published. I searched yahoo and didn't find many groups, so
I'd like to know if this group offers what I am looking for?
