LUNCH AT SPRING STREET CAFE IN SYLVA

From left to right: Nan Watkins, Bill Everett, Wayne Drumheller, K. Byer


I recently had lunch with some Netwest members, as well as one non-member we are trying to talk into joining! Wayne Drumheller of Brevard met with me beforehand to discuss Netwest and the role he would like to play in its future. Fiction writer and poet William Everett of Waynesville drove over to join us for lunch. The non-member? Musician and translator Nan Watkins who lives in Tuckasegee, and who has been a friend of mine and Bill's for many years. We discussed ways that Netwest can grow as a source of news, dialogue, and enrichment for our far western counties. We hope Nan will join us soon! And we invite all Netwest members to share their vision for Netwest's future. You may leave a comment or email me.

  1. Kay, what a thrill it is to see those folks with you making plans for the future of Netwest, an organization that is close to my heart, as you well know.
    I can see we are in good hands and look forward to what is coming.

    I also look forward to being in Sylva for Coffee with the Poets on June 17. I hope we have a good turnout from writers in the area.

  2. Kay, It is encouraging to see plans going forward for NCWN West. You're doing a good job as program coordinator. Thank you.

    I just got a phone call from Wayne Drumheller who will be our new NCWN Board Representative. This is very good news for the writers here in the mountains.
