March 8, 2007 I'll give the address for the American Association of University Women for the "International Women's Day" Celebration. WOMEN IN AMERICA, WOMEN IN TURKEY, WOMEN IN GENERAL: ENVIRONMENTS THAT KEEP US IN THE SAME BOAT.
March 24, 2007 (all day Saturday workshop). I'll be teaching a hands-on MEMOIR writing class for the Blue Ridge Pen.
January 20-29: I get to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah because my traveling friend, Jerlene Jones, has a son (Keith Lewis) who is producter of a documentary that made it into Sundance and is up for two awards-and they invited me. Couldn't miss it!
My daughter, Karen, who was the layout-design person for my first children's book, is working with me on the writing of my second book in the series of Turkish-American kids who discover their roots. This time, it's an eighth-grade cheerleader who has to write a first research paper about ancestors and discovers in the process about her heritage.
