Upcoming Luncheon Speakers/Programs

 May 17 - Dorothy Skarles
     May’s luncheon speaker, Dorothy A. Skarles, will speak about her book, Learning To Write The Easy Way For Fun, Posterity and Money, and her experiences getting it published. 
     She will also present a workshop on writing memoirs and asks that everyone bring a pen and notebook, promising three questions that will give you a head start writing your life story. She will offer an easy technique to help unblock hidden memories so you can write truly memorable stories to offer your family and future generations. 
     Dorothy writes under daSkarles, and has appeared in a variety of publications. She has published more than two hundred articles in trade journals, magazines and newspapers. She earned her first byline as a cooking columnist for a local family owned newspaper in California.
     Along with her love for writing, daSkarles also loves animals. She once owned a 99 percent wolf from Alaska who lived to be thirteen years old. She hopes one day to write a book about her experiences with this wonderful wild animal.
     Dorothy’s Titles: A Scent of Diamonds, Enchanted Hunt, Learning To Write The Easy Way
