May - Sept: I'd Enjoy Seeing You For 2024's "Last Saturdays
In keeping with tradition, I am once again donating ALL PROFITS from the sale of my books to various causes. This year's "menu" includes two local causes and four national. They are: The Hawley Fire Dept., our Hawley Library as well St. Jude Children's Hospital, Autism Speaks, the National M.S. Society, and Penn State's THON vs. Children's Cancer. When you make a donation, YOU pick the cause!
I will be located in front (or inside) of Hawley's historic Trading Post on Main Avenue from 9 a.m. 'til 4 p.m., but visitors will have the chance to meet other artists and crafters along the avenue as well as the chance to step inside the open doors of our many small businesses!

This article appeared after an interview with a newspaper writer at our annual Hawley Hoedown.
In a nutshell, I enjoy "giving back." People have been good to me throughout my life, and I guess I have bought into the "Pay if forward" mentality. I wish I could be financially supportive of more groups, but I can't. Perhaps one day I will be able to do so. Until then, I thank the many people who supported my efforts by purchasing my books. They, too, should feel good for having been part of this.
Readers who purchase my books are helping so many others.
I offer a unique opportunity for book clubs to help as well. Please check my "Book Club" section here on my website.
