Our annual dinner meeting will be held on April 22, 2026 at Orchard Creek and will feature guest speaker Corey Egbert.  We are thrilled to welcome Corey, a children's illustrator based in Buena Vista.  He believes in telling imaginative, funny and touching stories that empower kids to make their world better. Corey received a BA from Southern Virginia University and did graduate work in illustration at Syracuse University. Recent clients include Disney, Macmillan, Scholastic, HarperCollins and Penguin Random House. Corey's debut author/illustrated YA graphic novel VISITATIONS, published in 2024 by Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, earned starred reviews from Kirkus, Publisher's Weekly and Bookpage and was a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of
the Year. Corey lives in Buena Vista with his wife, son, and five cats.

Cash bar social from 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm.  Dinner buffet at 6:00 pm includes Chef's Choice chicken breast, house salad, seasonal vegetable, assorted desserts, water, sweet tea, and unsweetened tea.  A brief annual meeting will immediately follow dinner with the proposed re-election of Jeffrey Schwenk as Treasurer and re-election of Michelle DeMarmels as Secretary and then Corey will speak.  Stone Soup Books will be on hand with copies of Corey's books available for purchase and signing.  

Reservations and payment must be received by April 8th.
