GREETINGS FROM YOUR NEW PROGRAM COORDINATOR


First, I want to thank Glenda Beall for what she has done for Netwest during her tenure as Program Coordinator.   She kept this organization  and its blog going under great personal stress, and I'm grateful to her.  I will be keeping this blog going and invite you to send us posts.  Here is one about a poetry contest that I hope Netwest members will thinking about entering.
I will be going to the NC Literary Festival next week in Chapel Hill and will spread the word about Netwest.  


Poets:

Are you interested in compiling a book of your poetry and submitting it to a contest?  Check out the links below.

    Welcome Katheryn.

    Glenda Beall did an incredible job and I'm proud to call her my friend. I (along with all of Netwest I'm sure) wish her well and thank her for the outstanding job she did.

    I look forward to working with you and enjoy following your blog.

    Thanks Sam and thanks, Kathryn for taking the leadership of Netwest.
    I know our organization will reach even further heights with you at the helm.
    I look forward to what is coming.

    Welcome Kathryn. Thanks for taking the helm.

    Glenda warmly welcomed me to this group just a little over a year ago, and now the support and friendship of the Netwest writers mean so much to me. I'm thankful that Glenda and I have gotten to know each other. I look forward to getting to know you, Kathryn, and working with you on the Netwest News.

    Welcome, Katheryn:
    As difficult as it will be to fill Glenda Beall's shoes, I know that you the type of person who will do an outstanding job. Netwest has encouraged me and kept me writing; Glenda and Nancy Simpson have been wonderfully helpful. I look forward to working with you, and wish you all the best. God Bless Glenda and give her some rest, now.

    Hello all, my plate is full right now but I'll do the best I can. I'm still doing laureate work, because it won't really end till a new one is installed. I hope you'll help out with keeping the blog going.
