Resident Poet to Read - Ellen Dugan

We get fantastic coverage and a wonderful portrayal of our life on this little peninsula in due to the efforts of Ellen Dugan.  Ellen is a marvelous story teller as those of us quoted in her writing will attest. We read with eagerness to see what we might have said and what we might have missed. Ellen is important to the Rappahannock Record as well. Hers is some of the best writing they print. So much so that she is often awarded her own byline.

We know that Ellen is a terrific writer, but did you know she is a poet as well. Come for pot luck Wednesday, August 6, for readings from her collection. Be warned that these will not be smarmy doggerel. You will meet charming characters, some crazy situations, and sweet emotions. Its wonderful, fun stuff.

Wednesday, August 6. At the clubhouse. Gather 5:30, eat 6, program 6:30 or so.
