Last week's meeting
At our meeting last Wednesday, September 4, we heard Barb Vogelgesang speak about the District Grant we will be doing with her and the KCP/Kutztown Strand. The project is called Story Guardians - screenwriting club. Barb gave a wonderful insight into the benefits of this exciting program.
 
We also got a little insight on the challenges and successes of the Strand renovations. We are hopeful that the renovations will be forward enough to hold out Story Guardian performance at the Strand this May.
