And It's been a great year....

political speeches and readings by local poets. Zoe
Murdoch gave a fascinating talk about her novel, Torn
by God. We celebrated Joan
Raymund and Rivertalk.
Barbara Wagner of Laubach
Literacy told us how we could become tutors in English. Most recently
Lisa Wolpe, founder
of the Los Angeles Women's Shakespeare
Company, wowed a large audience with her talk - and
demonstrations - of Shakespeare's relevance today. We also helped
to get out the word out on this year's exciting Ojai
Valley Poetry Fest, held June 6 at the Art Cente
