Members of the Point Pleasant Writers Guild Celebrate Christmas by April Pyles

At a recent meeting of the Point Pleasant Writers Guild, members celebrated Christmas with food, fun, and fellowship. The conference room of the Mason County Library was filled with delicious aromas stemming from home-cooked sausages and applesauce, beans and little hotdogs, and Italian meatballs in barbecue sauce. Other items included pickles wrapped in ham, veggies and dip, cheese ball with crackers, apple pie, chocolate brownies and other goodies too numerous to mention. For thirst quenching beverages, members provided iced tea, cold cider, and a punch bowl full of pineapples, cranberry juice and ginger ale. While everyone enjoyed the feast, Christmas music played in the background. Members who had written something since the last meeting shared their poems, short stories, and past assignments. Will Jeffers brought a copy of November’s edition of “Fresh Words International Literary Magazine” which features a piece written by him entitled “Just A Pen.” The essay presents the importance of a pen, or a quill as the case may be, in writing important documents and works of literary significance. Mention of this accomplishment and a list of books written by Jeffers can be found at www.facebook.com/jeffersarchives. Christmas cards and treats were exchanged, games were played. Taylor Roegner was the lucky winner of the door prize. Librarians Cindy Williams, Amy Thompson, and Karra Hatfield stopped in for a brief visit and took the group’s picture later in front of the library’s beautiful Christmas Tree.
