Our next AAG meeting will be on Tuesday, May 18th, 2025, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Fiddler's Restaurant in Abingdon, VA. Steven James will be speaking. I have asked him to speak on his new craft book Delve, Pivot, Propel. This meeting is an in-person only event so I hope you can make plans to join us. Please let me know if you will be attending by Friday, May 14th so I can let the restaurant know how many will be there.
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.
