A note from Stan

I call your attention to the new page just added for the Writers Forum at the Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center. I’m a member of the group and support it enthusiastically and wholeheartedly. It figured large in my resurrection as a writer. It has figured large in the lives of many writers in the valley and similar groups have since appeared in McAllen, Port Isabel, and elsewhere in the Valley. The Writers Forum sponsored the recent and successful (thanks to the energies of Brenda Nettles Riojas and Daniel Garcia Ordaz) Rio Grande Valley International Poetry Festival and already is involved with the planning for next year’s event.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, the Writers Forum meets every first Tuesday at 7:00 pm at the Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center. The next meeting will be June 3rd. For more information, go to the new page.
