The meeting is not limited to only residents of Coös County. All writers in the North Country are welcome. The meetings are infor- mal and designed to facili- tate ease of conversation about the art of writing and the path to publication. Many of our members are published writers and are more than willing to share their experiences with oth- ers. For May’s meeting, we will be discussing the upcoming Writer’s Workshop and Book Fair to be held at the Northern Forest Heritage Park in Berlin on Saturday, July 16. The July event is an oppor- tunity that no writer should miss. Also, for May’s meet- ing at the White Mountain Café, the group is suggest- ing that writers bring some- thing that they have written or which they are working on to share with all. What you bring should be rela- tively brief, so that as many as possible can be heard. Sharing something that you have written is not manda- tory and those who do read may or may not invite con- structive comment, as they choose. The idea is to come and share in the conversa- tions and enjoy a night out with those who share your passion for writing. So, writers, mark your calendars for Monday, May 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the White Mountain Café, Main Street, Gorham.

The internet is a great place to buy cars, sell collectibles and stay informed. But for child molesters, it’s a new, effective and more anonymous way to sexually exploit children. To reduce the risks, you need to know the potential dangers and report them. At the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, we’ve created the CyberTipline to help fight back. And it works. Since 1998, we’ve dealt with more than 120,000 leads and we’ve worked tirelessly with law enforcement to help bring these predators to justice. To report child sexual exploitation, call the police. Then call us at 1-800-843-5678 or contact us at www.cybertipline.com. Child molesters may hide behind cute screen names. But together we can expose them for what they really are.
