Monday's Meeting
Fellow Writers,
Please remember that the monthly meeting of the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio will be on Monday, January 14, at the Barnes and Noble (San Pedro Crossing) at 7:30 p.m. This month (thanks to Mary Harder and Sandra Garcia), our guest speaker will be Rebeca Chapa, formerly an assistant editorial page editor and columnist for the San Antonio Express-News!
(From Express-News bio) During Rebeca's tenure with the Express-News, she was the newspaper's political writer covering elections, campaigns and politicians. Before returning to her hometown as a reporter in 2002, Rebeca worked on the state desk of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, traveling around Texas and bringing stories home to North Texas readers. She began her journalism career in 1997 at the Austin American-Statesman. Rebeca is a native of San Antonio and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. Her bachelor's degree in Social Anthropology from Harvard University may explain her love for international travel. Her jaunts include Turkey, India, Nepal, Cuba, Peru, Kenya and the Indonesian island of Bali.
*********
I would also like to remind everyone that tomorrow, Saturday, January 12, the Society's Leadership Group will have a meeting at the Barnes and Noble at IH 10 and De Zavala at 9 a.m. Everyone is welcomed to attend. Please come and share your wonderful ideas on what the Society can do in 2008!
**********
Please keep your calendars flexible during the February 20-25 timeframe: Kirsten Holmstedt, author of "Band of Sisters: American Women at War in Iraq" will be traveling from North Carolina to the Alamo City to conduct research on her next book, and for a few speaking engagements in Military City, USA!
I will let you know when her schedule is finalized and the localities selected for her speaking venues.
You may remember that I reviewed Kirsten's book for the San Antonio Express-News: "...12 gripping stories of courage and hardships endured by women who are blazing a trail in arenas once considered the sovereign domain of men."
Keep Writing,
Vince
