Ah yes! I have been awarded the Newberry Award. This "spoof" award was made up by our publisher for all those who attended the Guardian Angel Publishing get-together in Redmond Oregon. Part of the event included a trip to Newberry Crater, thus the name of the award. I always wanted to win a Newberry.

Guardian Angel Publishing had its first GAP West gathering of authors and illustrators in Redmond, Oregon. Events started September 17th and continued through September 20th. Lynda S. Burch, publisher, flew to Oregon for the event. In attendance were K.C. Snider, Sue Berger, Susann Batson, Mary Jean Kelso, Bill Kirk, Shari Lyle-Soffe, Janet Collins and Janie Robinson.

K.C. Snider hosted the event and the planning and organizing was handled by her publicist, Claudia Valiquet. Food was catered by K.C.'s niece, Bonnie Ellis and lots of helpers. K.C.'s husband, Fred, was in charge of keeping all of the equipment working smoothly. There was wonderful food and entertainment, tours and shopping sprees. A great time was had by all.

The highlight to the weekend was a Guardian Angel group booksigning and reading at the Barnes and Noble in Bend Oregon where we were all treated like royalty.

What a thrill it was to finally meet so many of our friends in person and have a chance to get to know them. Hundreds of photographs were taken by Claudia's husband, Steve. Hopefully I will have some to show you soon.
