June 4, 2018, 7:00 PM

Peter Leavell, funny and poignant speaker, closes the writing year with his gently dynamic gift. Peter writes with a historic bent and loves odd facts. His most recent work is speculative, but Peter is also an established non-fiction writer, capable of pulling emotion from a lima bean. His June message?

"Focus, Baby, Focus!"

June is also our Ice Cream Social month.  Bring a favorite topping to share. There will be no spelling bee nor square dancing, just the usual love, inspiration and laughter.
Come and be blessed!
