Opportunity to volunteer TEXAS special event HLCS Members September 8

Dustin Rhoads, former HLCS grant recipient, is leading a special event to take place in Eastland, TX on Friday, September 8, starting at 10:00am. Any members who would like to help make “seed balls” and distribute them at a location in Eastland are asked to meet at the Eastland county courthouse at 10:00am. Dustin is organizing the event to help restore native plants and habitat to support horned lizards. Eastland, TX (home to the annual Ripfest event) historically had a good population of horned lizards, but not many Texas horned lizards have been observed there in the last 10 years. Native American Seed has marketed a seed mix of native plants to encourage people to plant to support horned lizard habitat. 09/07/2023 12:00 AM

Join us at 2:00pm on September 17th at the Majestic Theatre in Eastland to see Die Ecke (The Corner). A German produced documentary regarding a picture taken of a US soldier during the final days of WWII and how it has connected people all over the world.

Rendezvous with Writing

Cisco Writers Club

Making Complex Nonfiction Fun to Read by Vera Day I have an engineering physics degree. I totally get it. Nonfiction, especially complex or scientific subjects, can be boring. But if an author can connect to the reader on a more personal level by channeling the subject and its examples into a character, then it’ll be easier for the reader to grasp and more fun to read, too. 09/07/2023 12:00 AM
