Summer Reading At Its Best… Lively Discussions With My Storytelling Friends At The Armed Forces Home

Family reunions to attend, vacations with friends and loved ones, and sightseeing in our very own nation’s capital can definitely make for a busy and fun filled summer.  When "Glenna's Book Club" at The Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, D.C. decided to take some pauses and enjoy travels and vacations during the months of June, July, and August, we all decided that we would continue to read and then share our thoughts about the books that we had selected for our summer reading list.

An Evening Of Beautiful Music And Friendship

On Tuesday evening, July 24, at Immaculate Heart Of Mary Catholic Church, Hayesville, North Carolina a musical event featuring performances of inspirational, sacred, and Broadway compositions was held to benefit the Madelyn Lea Memorial Scholarship Fund.  Annually, a deserving Hayesville High School student is the recipient of this lovely award - this year's scholarship winner is Bethany Anderson.  Bethany sang "In My Dreams" from the musical, Anastasia, and "Someone Like You" by Adele.  Her performances were both captivating and endearing.  Bethany will be attending Saint Ambrose University, Davenport, Iowa and it is there that she will continue to pursue her musical dreams.
