Suitable items of interest to membership will find ready acceptance and publication here. Items submittted will become the property of the person who attends most of the monthly meetings of the Association. A special day of recognition for writers so involved is planned for our regular meeting in July 2025.
Here's an example for membership from the desk of the President:
Better a poor man strong and robust, than a rich man with a wasted frame. More precious than gold is health and well being, contentment of spirit than coral. No treasure greater than a healthy body; no happiness, than a joyful heart. Do not give in to sadness, torment not yourself with brooding; gladness of heart is the very life of man, cheerfulnes prolongs his days. Worry brings on premature old age. One who is cheerful and smiling while at table benefits fron his food.
My son, my daughter, from your youth, embrace DISCIPLINE; thus will you find wisdom with graying hair. As though plowing and sowing draw close to her; then await bountiful crops. For in cultivating her you will labor but little, and soon you will eat of her fruits. How irksome she is to the unrully. The fool can not abide her. DISCIPLINE will be like a burdensome stone to test him or her, and he or she will not delay in casting DISCIPLINE aside. For DISCIPLINE Is like her name, and she is not accessible to many.
Put your feet into DISCIPLE'S fetters, and your neck under her yoke. Stoop your shoulders and carry her and be not irked by her bonds. With all your soul draw close to her; with all your strength keep her ways. Search her out, discover her; seek her and you will find her. The when you have her, do not let her go. Thus will you afterward find rest in her, and she will become your joy. Her fetters will be your throne of majesty; her bonds, your purple cord. You will wear her as your robe of glory, bear her name as your splendid crown.Sirach
