AFTER-WORDS Welcome to our new page! We'll give you a glimpse of our fun and entertaining programs that have happened. We'll keep you informed on what you missed if you didn’t attend this event.
Poetry Reading and Craft Talk We had a great turnout for our first venture into poetry readings! This is a much overdue spin-off from our writer’s events.
We would like to continue presenting poetry readings, so if anyone has ideas for another event, send them to my attention.
Also, we plan to organize a poetry writing group in
the near future. If you want information, send us your email by clicking

His off-stage presence was far different than his act. He is a father with a 3 and 5 year old at home and 2 grown children. His cancer experience has given him a gentler view of life, although his show is the same one that made him famous on the Conan show and his talks with Howard Stern. We had a nice crowd in the back room around the refreshment table. He talked for an hour and a half to people. He talked about his career before and after the cancer and answered questions from the audience. It was a wonderful chance to see the man behind the scenes. We sold books at the The Laughing Post too. They have a great club and run a class act down there. They bring in big names all the time. It’s great entertainment.
The meal began with a wonderful fresh salad which was followed by a new and exciting vegetarian gumbo with just the right amount of spicy flavor. The icing to the meal was a real New Orleans King Cake made by the chef at Food Dance. It was authentic right down to the little plastic baby for luck. We talked about the New Orleans restaurants, food and sharing ideas for more Foodies. The interesting aspect of Gumbo Tales by Sara Rohan was her perspective of the city before and after the hurricane. It was a great evening of fellowship and sharing.

The
evening’s speakers were great. The audience was a mingling of writers,
students and friends of the poets. Published authors Nancy Eimers, Grace
Tiffany and Robert Eversz were there in support of Mark and Daneen.
Robert
Schimmel, nationally recognized stand-up comedian from Scottsdale,
made time in his busy schedule to come to the Parkview store last week.
He was in town to do 4 shows at The Laughing Post in the Shakespeare
building downtown. Robert was also promoting his new book, Cancer on
$5 A Day, Chemo Not Included.
Food
Dance Foodie: Our group met on April 28th. It was a chilly
rainy night, but warm and friendly in our private room in the restaurant.
