Wow! Joe Tait Was Great!

Thanks to everyone who attended our Literacy Luncheon on July 9 at Weymouth Country Club. The timing couldn't have been better. Joe said that prior to LBJ's announcement he wouldn't have been able to say much. Even though we couldn't celebrate that decision, we certainly could celebrate Joe Tait and the contribution he has made to sports coverage. I heard so many good comments like, "I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!" and "This was one of the best events I have been to!" Joe spent the entire hour taking questions from the audience. It was so nice to see so many different ages there. Everyone shared a love of the game and Joe provided some great insights into the Cavs from their beginnings. If you ever get a chance to attend an event in which Joe Tait is speaking, don't hesitate. It doesn't matter if you enjoy sports, you'll enjoy Joe! Thanks Joe for speaking at our event. You are everyone's friend!

Calling All Tutors!

Hey! You all have great stories to tell. Please share your successes, mishaps, and annecdotes with others. Project: LEARN is all about people connecting. We use the tutor/student relationship as the basis of our connections but that relationship leads to all kinds of shared joys and adventures. Tell your stories and share them with other tutors. Have your students tell of a memorable experience and make blogging your lesson of the day. Let's fill this blog with all the great stories of Project: LEARN in Medina County.

Book Recommendation

I just read a great book that I found at The BookShelf! I was lucky enough to attend the library's authors luncheon to hear Lisa Black speak. She has written under two names, Lisa Black and Elizabeth Becka. At The BookShelf I found a hard copy of "Trace Evidence," her first book. Her character, Evelyn James, is a forensic trace evidence expert just as Lisa Black is in real life. For those of us who find CSI, Bones, and Patricia Cornwall books (her early ones) fascinating, this book is sure to please. Lisa (Elizabeth)'s books take place in Cleveland because she was from here originally and loves the historic flavor of the city. "Trace Evidence" takes place in the cold month of November and the villain is dropping young women into the icy Cuyahoga wearing cement overshoes. The serial killer gets lots of attention when the mayor's daughter turns up dead. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested. I plan to read all her books (There are four.) and this one is now available at the Medina BookShelf.
