CONTENTS

* President’s Column By Suzanne Kirkpatrick

* Silent Angels by Mary Feidner

As the Scholarship Committee members begin to sort through applications, you may be wondering where a significant portion of the funding for the scholarships comes from. In this column, Mary Feidner explains one key source — the Silent Angels.

In addition to funds from the Silent Angels, funding comes from Scribble Sisters book sales, theater fundraisers, and individual donations—this year including a generous amount from Judy Murphy’s birthday celebration.

* Poets Corner (Contributions from all members welcome.)
