Big Weekend for Authors

Do you have a son, daughter, sister, grandchild, or spouse who just can't seem to deal with money matters?

This weekend Destinations Booksellers will offer one solution. Yes, it's a book. But we've arranged for a whole financial seminar to go along with it as Brian Miller, who speaks from experience, lays out the theory behind his Jelly Jar Finance: Power Over Your Money.

Miller's book explains how to get out of your personal financial mess in simple terms and includes clear guidelines for gaining control over your household's spending and saving for a secure financial future.

This one-day-only seminar starts at 4 p.m. (face it, by then you'll be looking for any air-conditioned place to park) on Saturday, June 25, and appropriate refreshments will be provided. We hope to have more such seminars as time passes, and this will be a good measure of your interest.

On Sunday, Alleen Scanlon will join us at noon for a reception honoring the publication of her fifth book of stories and poetry, The Mirror Was Pleased. Alleen will read from the book several times during this two-hour reception, designed to make it easy for you to stop in after church. Join us anytime between noon and 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 26.

And afterward, you'll have an opportunity to wander over to The Culbertson Mansion on East Main Street, where Robyn Davis Sekula and David C. Barksdale will be signing copies of New Albany in Vintage Postcards at the Mansion starting at 4 p.m. I doubt anyone would mind you getting your book signed if you already bought it here, but if you haven't yet purchased the book, all the proceeds from sales at The Culbertson go to finance its interior restoration. Our own supply is running down, so the fact that they are available at The Culbertson Mansion, too, is a plus for the whole community.
