Hello my friends, Happy New Year! 2025
I am looking forward to a brand-new year of peace and hope and the creation of new stories. First on my storytelling agenda was the RAPS first meeting of the year on January 2.
Second is the River and Prairie Chicken Festival. Put it on your calendar – January 10-12 in Clinton, MO. The chicken festival has been drawing storytellers to smaller towns in Missouri and Kansas for over 30 years. It is a time to relax, reconnect with old friends, make new friends and be a part of the storytelling world both as a listener and a storyteller. You will have such a wonderful time with music and stories, a crazy auction and lots of fellowship. Check out the agenda in the newsletter.
Third on my agenda is the MO-TELL Annual Meeting. For more news about MO-TELL, I hope you will attend the upcoming annual meeting. Every year we have an annual meeting in January because our fiscal year ends January 31st . The meeting offers an opportunity for the MO-TELL board to let you know what we have done during the year, and it gives you a chance to express yourselves about what we have done and what you would like us to do.
Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 7 pm. Check the registration on the flyer included in the newsletter.
I am so grateful to all of you who offered thoughts and prayers this year for my husband, Bob, who was in memory care with hospice. Bob passed away on December 7. We all felt the power of your thoughts and prayers. Thank you so very much.
We remember our loved ones by their stories. Keep telling your stories.
Joyce Slater
President, MO-TELL
