the BULLETIN

Raised in Florida, “Kit” Christopher Adams’ 57 yrs of writing poetry have touched on banking, administration, retail, and teaching. All add depth to his cigar experiences. Locations change, but his warm appreciation of tobacco, its beginnings, and its final rolled form inspires his poetry. Spanish Cedar … contains a diverse sampling of viewing, smelling, tasting, savoring, and reflecting on the cigar. www.spanishcedarbook.com SCWG President Scott Tilley will be attending the “Florida Heritage Book Festival and Conference” in St. Augustine, Sept. 16-17. http://fhbookfest.com

“When I write, I take my troubles. … and give them to someone else.”

During her first three months of life, Ashley’s parents were told that she might not see her first birthday. That was 30 years ago. Ashley spoke at her college graduation, competes in World Series of Poker, was kissed by exercise guru Richard Simmons, donated her hair to Locks of Love, and much more. She is a survivor. But more than that, hers is a message of hope for everyone.
