Last Literary Afternoon of this season!
Listen to readings by Cortes Island authors: Dana Davis, Edward Colley, Stephen Moyse, Heather Ogilvie, Elke Finley and Richard (a recent Cortesian). Followed by tea, coffee and goodies.
Sunday, March 11, 2 p.m. at the Museum.
At the Literary Afternoons, five or six Cortes writers read for ten minutes from their own work. For an hour, they take you into another world with their poems, prose, memoirs and more! Afterwards, we have tea, coffee, chocolate and baked goods for everyone who wants to stay and chat with their friends and the authors. Donations of baked goods or funds are gratefully accepted.
These events are organized by Seniors Helping Seniors/Cortes Island Seniors Society (SHS) and the Cortes Island Museum & Archives Society. Open to everyone willing to share their writings.
If you are a new writer and you would like to read on one of these afternoons, please contact Carina, coordinator of SHS, at 935-6792.
