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.
