Our next AAG meeting will be on Tuesday, May 13th, 2025, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Fiddler's Restaurant in Abingdon, VA. Steven James has unfortunately had a conflict arise but he will be with us at the September meeting. Linda Hoagland will be speaking at this meeting on Selling Face to Face. If any of you have been at an event with her, you know she is the master of selling books to people. Please come out and show your support. This is an in-person meeting but if possible, I will do a Facebook Live. It will begin at 12:15.
Please let me know by Friday, May 9th if you can be here with us for this meeting.
Your 2025 president, Victoria (Vicki) Fletcher

The AAG would like to have entries for a special cookbook/anthology to be ready for the Virginia Highlands Festival in July 2025. Entries would need to be sent to Vicki by May 15th to have it ready for publishing in time. We are wanting Appalachian recipes with stories to go with them: how did your family come up with that recipe, how does your family use the recipe, or any type of story along those lines. If we receive enough entries for the book, I will be sending emails asking for your brief bio and photo to include in the About the Authors section. Hope you'll get those entries in.
