September 7: Tim Hillebrand shares his thoughts on the Internet, plus
how he plans to market the six novels he's written in the last two years.

Tim, who holds a BA, MA and Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of California, has lived the kind of adventurous life that most of us only read about! Museum curator, college professor, film company VP, organizer of archaeology expeditions all over the world for organizations like the Smithsonian and the Sierra Club… and then he retired in 1988 and moved first to Salmon and then to Moscow, Idaho. He and his wife have been constructing a Japanese garden in their back yard for the past three years… and for the past two years, he's written a series of novels based on some of his archaeological experiences. What a guy!  Don't miss this action-packed talk by Tim!


October 5: Sherry Karusa Waldrip:  on "I Don't Remember Signing Up For Cancer."

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and what better time to hear from Sherry as she discusses the revised edition of her book - " a candid and humorous account of her journey through the experience of breast cancer." Sherry has been an inspirational speaker since 1986. She began her speaking ministry with Christian Women's Club and since then has spoken extensively throughout the Northwest. Join us and Sherry!

We're in for a special treat as our own SASP members share their poetry with us. We're asking all who are interested in reading (or 'saying") their favorite poems - whether "officially published" or not - to contact Chuck O'Connor by phone (466-5516) or e-mail (
cgpub@email.msn.com) so he can make out a program schedule. Each poet will initially be limited to 5 minutes, so we'll have time to hear from everybody.
