The Friends of the Modesto Library nominating committee is seeking candidates for the board position of secretary. The commitment is one year, from March 2010 to March 2011. Jobs: take notes at quarterly board meetings, write up & distribute drafts, correct drafts and distribute to board members & webmaster. Secretary also writes letters occasionally to donors and handles general correspondence. But the best part is that you get to vote on matters important to the FOML and the Modesto Library. Could this be you? Tell me if you’re interested. Thanks!
Modesto-based poet Gillian Wegener (The Opposite of Clairvoyance, Sixteen Rivers, 2008) is launching the Third Tuesday Poetry Series at the Barking Dog Grill in downtown Modesto.
The first reading to kick off the series, on June 16, features award-winning poet Lynne Knight, whose most recent title, Again, was published by Sixteen Rivers Press earlier this year. Knight’s work appeared in Best American Poetry 2000, and her awards include a Theodore Roethke Award from Poetry Northwest and an NEA grant. She lives in Berkeley.
The June 16 reading will be followed by a celebratory open mic–bring your own poem plus a poem by someone else who has inspired you along the way.
The Third Tuesday Poetry Series starts at 6:30 pm. For more information, contact Gillian Wegener.
