Book Signing/Reading and Art Show/Sale.
The public is invited to a showcase of talent at the Cashier’s Senior Center featuring a new book written by the seniors, “A Splash of Color, Art and Stories Woven from Life’s Fabric,” and an art exhibit displaying the many talents of the seniors at the Cashier’s Senior Center. There will be a reading by the seniors, followed by a book signing and reception. All sales will be going toward providing for the seniors further classes without fees.
“A Splash of Color” contains the writings and art work of the seniors, drawn from classes offered through Southwestern Community College: “Writing From the Heart Series” with Amy Ammons Garza, and “Pastel Painting” workshops with Doreyl Ammons Cain.” Stories, poems and prose are taken from the lives of the writers and contain humor, mystery, reflections, opinions and wisdom. Some of the titles are “Holiday in Cyprus,” “Shadows,” “Retirement,” “Alligator Wrestling,” “The Mystery of the Painting,” and more.
The afternoon event is sponsored by the Jackson County Department on Aging. The Cashier’s Senior Center is located at 217 Frank Allen Road, Cashiers NC. For more information, or to RSVP, call Linda Buchanan at 828-745-6856.
