I have met some really interesting persons since I have moved here.
Does anyone remember Dianne? She visited with us at our book club meeting once. She introduced herself as a housewife. Who would have guessed that she was a fantastic actress as well.
On Saturday I went to see Sordid Lives, written by Del Shores and presented by our local Trembling Earth Production. It was held at the "theater" upstairs KD's Restaurant. Dianne had a key role in this very risque and funny play.
Another interesting person I have met is Linda. This morning Linda gave her twentieth speech for the Okefenokee Toastmasters Club. She has now completed a basic manual plus two advanced manuals; one on humorous speeches and one on special occasion speeches. She is now in the category of Advanced Toastmaster(ATM)Bronze. The Okefenokee Toastmasters is a part of Toastmasters International, a nonprofit organization that focuses on building leadership and oral communication skills. They meet every Wednesday at 7:00AM at the Holiday Inn.
Hopefully you will all get to meet Linda next week. She is busily reading All Over but the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg.
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.
